What I'm looking for

I’m available for full-time freelance assignments, translation tests, and ongoing collaboration, including work translating from English into Swahili.

At Teknokona Group, I translate humanitarian and public health content from English into Swahili using Phrase TMS. I also run quality checks and maintain a termbase of recurring terminology.

I adapt translations for Swahili-speaking audiences, preserving the original meaning and tone while making content accessible to readers with varying literacy levels.

At Akili AI, I worked as a Volunteer Subtitle Translator, translating and reviewing English and Swahili content. My work included business documents, marketing materials, website content, and promotional messages for Tanzanian audiences.

I trained in translation, humanitarian translation, machine translation post-editing, and localisation fundamentals. I’m available for freelance assignments, translation tests, and ongoing collaboration.
