PROFESSIONAL PROFILE
Swahili-English bilingual AI Quality Auditor and Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) Data Evaluator with strong experience in quality audits, guideline-based evaluation, and root cause analysis for multilingual AI training projects. Proven ability to review, validate, and improve dataset quality while ensuring semantic accuracy, cultural relevance, and compliance with complex specifications. Strong analytical mindset with a background in Information Systems and AI Red Teaming.
AI RED TEAMING & ADVERSARIAL SAFETY EVALUATION
I conduct structured, human-led adversarial testing of large language models and conversational agents, targeting prompt injection vectors, jailbreak mechanisms, multi-turn manipulation, policy boundary erosion, and bias amplification.
My work applies repeatable red-team methodologies, safety taxonomies, and controlled experimentation to surface systemic failure modes in model behavior. Leveraging a cybersecurity and networking background, I document reproducible attack cases, classify risks across misuse and reliability dimensions, and propose mitigation strategies aligned with contemporary AI safety and evaluation practices.
