What I'm looking for

I’m seeking remote freelance or contract opportunities in English–Kiswahili translation, AI data annotation, linguistic data labelling, transcription, AI response evaluation, and language quality assurance.

At Librefoundation, I supported translation and transcription activities, assisted with research and training materials, and prepared written information for different audiences.

Through my work with Amani Girls Home / WCCP, CROMABU, I supported research with women and community participants, assisted with translation, and contributed to data collection using Magpi. I’m interested in developing accurate, natural, and culturally appropriate AI language systems for Kiswahili speakers.
