Bio
๐—ช๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐—œ ๐——๐—ผ
I work in the language services industry as a Translation & Localization Specialist offering Translation, Linguistic Validation Specialist & Transcription solutions for Swahili, Luo, & English languages.
โ—‰ I specialize in Medical, Literary, Mass Media, & General translation
โ—‰ I have been doing this for the past 5 years

โ—‰ During this period, I have helped facilitate communication and interaction between non-Swahili speaking entities and their native Swahili audiences.
โ—‰ I have also helped international and local organizations undertake medical and clinical research, especially in local hospital settings in Kenya.
โ—‰ In broader terms, I have facilitated scientific development and monitoring of treatment protocols for HIV, Tuberculosis, and other accompanying ailments.

โ—‰ Iโ€™m a native speaker of both Swahili and Luo languages from Kenya, with an in-depth understanding and mastery of the socio-cultural and practical nuances of these languages.
โ—‰ I have a love affair with languages as evidenced in my ravenous appetite for books alongside my remarkable writing ability.
โ—‰ This love affair has been polished by undertaking professional training in Mass Communication with Translation as one of the major disciplines.
โ—‰ As a full-time Data Processor working in a hospital set-up, I have perfected the ability to pay close attention to detail. The hospital environment has equally led to an expansion of my knowledge & understanding of medical terminology.

I have forged long-term work relationships with local & international establishments including Mรฉdecins Sans Frontiรจres (MSF), Translators Without Borders, & ICON Language Services โ€“ UK, among others in delivering superior quality language solutions.
โ—‰ I am actively open to remote working & freelancing collaborations.

When Iโ€™m not engrossed in my work, you will find me spending quality time with my wife & children. If not, I will be deeply lost in a book, enjoying some good music or watching a movie.
