Bilingual linguistic expert specializing in AI language evaluation, data annotation, and transcription with 14+ years of impact.
EgyptWhat I'm looking for
I’m a bilingual (Arabic–English) Linguistic Expert with 14+ years of professional experience across writing, English instruction, and customer experience. I’ve spent 3+ years specializing in AI language evaluation, data annotation, transcription, and subtitling, consistently delivering guideline-compliant, high-quality outputs in remote, deadline-driven environments.
My background in Linguistics & Translation includes published literary translation work featured at the Cairo International Book Fair 2024. I bring deep strengths in analyzing grammar, tone, register, speaker intent, and contextual meaning across written, audio, and video content.
In my current work as a Quality Auditor (AI Training Data) for RWS (TrainAI Community), I audit and evaluate AI-generated content against detailed rubrics and client guideline standards. I deliver structured, actionable feedback to support annotation accuracy and downstream model improvement.
I also contribute to AI language and speech development through ongoing voice recording work with Boxlyx, following strict recording and quality guidelines. Alongside this, I teach Business English (C1/C2) and support learners through tutoring and assistant roles, which strengthens how I evaluate language quality and communicate feedback clearly.
