Freelancer Overview

I am a multilingual data labeling and annotation specialist with over five years of experience supporting AI and machine learning projects across text, image, and audio domains. My expertise includes transcription, translation, and annotation for natural language processing, speech recognition, and machine translation applications, with a strong focus on English and Swahili datasets. I am skilled in using industry-standard tools such as Appen and Lionbridge platforms, Excel, and basic Python for data handling, and have a proven track record of delivering high-quality, accurate, and consistent datasets that have improved model performance. I thrive in cross-functional, multicultural teams and am committed to ensuring data quality, reliability, and linguistic accuracy in every project I undertake.
