What I'm looking for

I'm interested in Amharic LLM evaluation, AI safety and content evaluation, language quality assessment, data annotation, and human feedback for AI model improvement.

At CrowdGen, I evaluate AI-generated Amharic speech and audio for accuracy, naturalness, fluency, tone, and pronunciation. I also correct machine-generated transcriptions against original audio and assess content for potentially unsafe material using project-specific criteria.

At St. Mary’s University, I conducted impact and outcome evaluations using quantitative and qualitative methods, carried out data quality checks, and analyzed data with tools including Stata, EViews, and NVivo. I also prepared and published research papers, technical reports, and presentations.

My work has included teaching economics, coordinating research and knowledge-sharing activities, and assessing agricultural outreach and extension programs. I’m interested in Amharic LLM evaluation, AI safety and content evaluation, language quality assessment, data annotation, and human feedback for AI model improvement.
