What I'm looking for

I’m ready to annotate Swahili data to spec, peer-review work, and flag edge cases to QA leads.

In my independent AI data annotation practice, I classify and label text using written guidelines and tag named entities for NLP training data. I also label images in Labelbox and compare AI-generated answers to select the best response for accuracy, clarity, and helpfulness.

As a Swahili Teaching Assistant at Hatua, Mukuru kwa Reuben, I supported lessons and corrected learners’ writing for spelling, grammar, and usage. I’m studying Information Technology, specialising in Machine Learning and AI, and bring Swahili language and cultural context knowledge to annotation and quality review.
