About
Kia ora! I’m Thomas Clarke, a linguist, project manager, and quality-assurance specialist who loves audio and language data. I believe in addressing all the small things to transform client goals into efficient and fleshed-out results across transcription, localisation, data analysis, quality assurance, and AI evaluation.
I have a special knack for nuance and mentoring others, as well as communicating clearly with clients. My native English is complemented by experiences across NZ, AU, and US contexts through a variety of projects and studies.
