What I'm looking for

I seek roles that leverage Yoruba expertise in translation and AI annotation, collaborative teams, research-driven projects, and opportunities to improve language models and cultural accuracy.

I am an experienced Yoruba language professional with a strong background in translation, linguistics, and language instruction. I focus on ensuring accuracy, fluency, and cultural relevance in Yoruba text.

At Adeife Limited I conducted linguistic data analysis on over 10,000 language samples and identified key dialectal patterns that informed the development of two new language-processing tools. I also designed and executed a cross-cultural communication study that increased research efficiency by 35% and enabled expansion into three additional African languages.

I collaborate with multidisciplinary teams and contributed to a peer-reviewed publication that enhanced my employer's reputation in computational linguistics and attracted new research partnerships. I am committed to advancing AI language models through expert annotation, error analysis, and process improvement.

I bring a keen eye for detail, fluency in Yoruba, and a passion for promoting linguistic and cultural integrity in language technology projects.
