Freelancer Overview

With over five years of hands-on experience as a Video Captioner and Data Labelling Specialist at AI Media TV (2020–2025), I have built deep expertise in annotating, captioning, and transcribing large volumes of video and audio content for AI/ML training pipelines. My work spans diverse media environments — broadcast television, online streaming platforms, and live events — requiring consistent high accuracy, adherence to complex style guidelines, and the ability to handle edge cases across varied accents, dialects, and subject domains. I am practiced in delivering labelled datasets that meet the quality benchmarks AI teams depend on to train reliable models. What sets me apart is the combination of frontline labelling experience with a technical foundation in computer science (BSc, Upper Second Class Honours, Moi University). Having also worked as a Full-Stack Software Developer, I understand how labelled data feeds into broader AI development workflows — giving me sharper context when interpreting annotation guidelines and ontologies than most labellers possess. My trilingual fluency in English, Swahili, and Kalenjin further extends my value in transcription and annotation projects involving East African language content, an increasingly sought-after capability in global AI training data teams.
