Wachy Bena
@wachybena
AI content writer and language trainer on remote AI data training projects, creating and evaluating English and Swahili training content.
What I'm looking for
On remote AI data training projects, I write and evaluate prompts, responses, and structured feedback in English and Swahili. I also research and fact-check content for NLP and AI chatbot improvement projects.
At Translated.com, I translated English to Swahili across legal, marketing, PR, religious, and general documents. I reviewed translations for accuracy, consistent terminology, and cultural appropriateness.
With Global Language Team – ProZ, I transcribed documentaries, health journals, courtroom recordings, and call-centre content. I prepared verbatim and clean transcripts with timestamps and speaker labels.
As an independent forex trader and data analyst, I applied technical and fundamental analysis and generated over $6,000 USD in verified earnings paid via Stripe and Rise. I also maintain trading records in Excel and Google Sheets.
