About

I’m Dominic Khaemba, an audio generalist evaluator with 9+ years of experience focused on linguistics, content quality assurance, and speech dataset preparation for AI research. I specialize in reviewing and correcting English speech data for linguistic and technical accuracy, ensuring recordings are clean, well-segmented, and consistently annotated for ASR and TTS training.

I work closely with engineers and linguists to refine annotation standards, improve dataset reliability, and reduce error rates through rigorous QA processes. From audio quality checks (noise/artifact detection and synchronization) to structured text-audio alignment for conversational systems, I bring strong technical precision, clear documentation, and a dataset-first mindset to every evaluation workflow.
