What I'm looking for

I'm particularly interested in AI training, data annotation, language evaluation, speech and text data collection, and improving AI systems' understanding of Kiswahili.

As a Kiswahili and English Language Teacher at a secondary school in Tanzania, I teach both languages and prepare lessons, exercises, assessments, and learning materials.

I evaluate written and spoken language for grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, and accuracy, and review written content while giving constructive feedback. My Bachelor of Arts with Education from the University of Dar es Salaam focused on Linguistics and Kiswahili.

I'm particularly interested in AI training, data annotation, language evaluation, and speech and text data collection. As a native Kiswahili speaker, I bring knowledge of Kiswahili grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, sentence structure, and Tanzanian language usage.
