On Outlier AI, Handshake AI, and Prolific, I reviewed over 2,500 model completions covering writing, logic, technical analysis, and software code. I also wrote constrained, multi-turn reference conversations and tested generated code for errors and incorrect outputs.

As a Data Quality Specialist on independent remote contracts, I scored model answers for factual accuracy, prompt compliance, clarity, and safety. I checked output structures such as JSON and CSV, and researched technical claims against external sources.

At the University of Nairobi, I assist research on Swahili language datasets and tokenization. I’ve created Python scripts to test model-generated code and helped guide undergraduate labs in software design, database queries, and object-oriented concepts.

As a Software Engineer (Contract), I built interface modules with React and Node.js, designed relational schemas in PostgreSQL and MySQL, and wrote tests with PyTest and Jest. I’m pursuing a Master of Science in Software Engineering at the University of Nairobi.
