Through freelance and agency collaborations, I provide English–Hausa and English–Nigerian Pidgin translation and localization, along with linguistic review and proofreading. I apply Nigerian linguistic and cultural knowledge to make content clear, natural and context-appropriate.

With Go Transparent, I completed Google/YouTube translation work exceeding 100,000 words and supported localization across websites, applications and UI/UX content. At East African Language Solution, I translated and revised medical content, including a COVID-19 drug manual.

I also support language-data annotation and evaluation, transcription, and machine-translation post-editing. With New Globe Initiative – JigawaUnite, I supported pupils’ workbook design and teachers’ tablet instructional-design content.
