What I'm looking for

I’m looking for opportunities where I can translate, transcribe, and annotate Swahili language data with strict quality standards, support multilingual AI development, and grow through research-driven, deadline-focused work.

I’m a reliable, detail-oriented Swahili Linguist and Language Data Specialist with hands-on experience in translation, transcription, annotation, and data-labeling projects. I deliver accurate, culturally relevant, high-quality language work by combining strong communication with careful quality control. As a native Swahili speaker with professional English working proficiency, I ensure language is both correct and usable for real-world applications.

Through freelance work on platforms like Upwork and Outlier, I’ve supported AI and machine learning efforts by preparing language data, reviewing and correcting linguistic content for cultural and grammatical accuracy, and meeting deadlines across multiple assignments. I’m passionate about language technology, localization, and research, and I bring a process-driven approach grounded in attention to detail, time management, and consistent teamwork and professional communication.
