About

I am AYDAROOS MUHSIN SAYYID ALI, a bilingual AI linguist and digital heritage expert bridging historical linguistic preservation with modern LLM training. As a native Swahili and Arabic speaker, I bring 13+ years of experience across vocal performance, manuscript digitization, and AI model alignment (RLHF), guiding researchers and organizations in preserving East African linguistic heritage while shaping responsible AI systems.

Currently pursuing a PhD in Linguistics, I evaluate large language models for factual accuracy and cultural nuance, conduct high-precision voice analysis in a treated home studio, and lead digitization efforts for classical East African texts. I combine deep linguistic analysis with practical audio QA and robust prompt engineering to advance heritage-informed AI and education.
