## About

```text
At Thesardauna TV, I lead a Hausa-language media organisation producing news, educational, documentary, cultural, and community content. I oversee content review and publication, evaluate cultural relevance and accuracy, and use audience analytics to shape content strategy.

With GAIN Health, I conduct household surveys, FGDs, and KIIs for nutrition research, capturing responses in Hausa and English and checking data quality with KoboCollect. At CARE International, I collect and validate programme data, and translate and transcribe Hausa-English qualitative material.

My Hausa Hate-Speech Detection project used Python text classification to identify and categorize Hausa-language hate speech. I also explored challenges in preprocessing and tokenizing Hausa text.

As a Mathematics and Computer Science teacher, I taught in English and Hausa, developed bilingual educational materials, and analyzed assessment data. I’m seeking to contribute to LLM response evaluation, AI data annotation, safety evaluation, and multilingual AI development for Hausa and other African languages.
