I’m Hezron S. Cleopaford, a native Swahili speaker with professional English proficiency, and I help turn bilingual (Swahili–English) speech and documents into clear, guideline-compliant transcripts, translations, and structured outputs. I’m comfortable identifying code-switching in natural conversation, labeling speakers and languages, and accurately segmenting utterances with timestamps for high-quality AI/ML-ready data. My background also includes field research work where I collected and entered structured survey data for 178 households using SPSS and the WHO Anthro tool, strengthening my habits around consistency, accuracy, and careful QA. I’m reliable, deadline-driven, and enjoy independent work across time zones—especially when it supports high standards for AI training data quality and AI safety.…I’m Hezron S.
