I’m a Swahili and Turkana language specialist with hands-on experience working with enterprise clients on large language and AI projects. My Upwork experience includes Swahili and Turkana transcription, translation, and AI language work. I have completed large language transcription projects in both Swahili and Turkana, and on my Turkana project, I also served as a Division Manager for the Turkana team. I’m currently working on an enterprise Swahili AI chatbot project, where I evaluate and rate AI responses, correct Swahili outputs, check grammar and cultural accuracy, generate conversational responses, annotate data, test chatbot responses, and conduct linguistic quality checks. I care about getting the details right. I follow project guidelines carefully, communicate clearly, and take the time to understand the client's needs before delivering the work. My clients have consistently trusted me with language and data work and have rated my completed projects highly, with feedback highlighting my quality, reliability, communication, and attention to detail. I can help with: * Swahili & Turkana transcription * Swahili translation & captioning * AI response evaluation * AI data annotation * Swahili chatbot testing * Linguistic QA * Grammar and language correction * Cultural accuracy review * Conversational data generation If you need someone who understands Swahili and Turkana language work and can apply that knowledge carefully to AI and language-data projects, I’d be glad to work with you.
