Bio

With a passion for both academic and creative writing, I bring a unique blend of technical and analytical skills to the table. My academic background in System Analysis and Business Organizations has provided me with a broad-range view of problems and their technical solutions, making me adept at identifying and addressing complex issues.

In addition, I am a highly skilled Trilingual Translator fluent in Hausa, Pidgin, and English. I have been working remotely with One Hour Translation (now Blend inc.), one of the biggest online translation agencies since March 2018, where I have earned an impressive reputation for my exceptional translation services. My expertise is highly valued by clients, especially for projects involving translation for Facebook Inc. to train Facebook's Natural Language Processing (NLT) engine to automatically translate Hausa, English, and Pidgin strings to other languages and vice versa at the level of a native speaker of these languages.

On Blend inc., I have also earned the ISO 9001:2008 certification as a professional Reviewer, Editor, and Language Editor, as well as a Gold Badge as a top Linguistics Expert. My proficiency in providing transcription services in the three languages has also garnered excellent reviews from satisfied clients. My commitment to delivering high-quality work and my excellent communication skills make me a valuable asset to any team looking for a skilled linguist and writer.
