Bio

I am a native Tanzanian Swahili linguist specializing in English–Swahili translation, localization, proofreading, and linguistic quality assurance. I bring experience in language services, AI data projects, and cross-cultural communication.

My services include:

  • English–Swahili translation and localization
  • Swahili proofreading and editing
  • Linguistic quality assurance and language evaluation
  • AI language data validation and annotation
  • Transcription review and terminology consistency checks

My background in Regional Development Planning and NGO project coordination also supports my work with educational materials, development-related content, community information, and social research documents.

As a native Swahili speaker based in Tanzania, I pay close attention to meaning, context, terminology, cultural relevance, and natural language usage. I aim to deliver accurate, consistent, and culturally appropriate work while following client instructions and project-specific style guides.

I welcome opportunities to work with translation agencies, localization providers, NGOs, and technology companies seeking reliable Swahili language services.
