Background

About Galavi S.

Language, culture, and AI—this is truly where I thrive. As a Senior Data Linguist and AI/NLP Localization Lead with over 6 years of experience, I'm passionate about building AI that genuinely understands human nuance. My work focuses on transforming complex, multilingual data into precise, high-performing datasets that power smarter, more human-centered AI systems. I've guided projects across the entire Generative AI and NLP lifecycle, from improving speech models and sentiment analysis to refining chatbots, LLMs, and machine translation. My expertise lies in ensuring linguistic and cultural accuracy at scale, while also driving operational efficiency in AI development. Led and strategically managed end-to-end multilingual NLP and localization projects, from annotation design to full linguistic QA across 10+ languages (including Hindi, English, Korean, and various European/Asian languages). Streamlined AI/ML QA workflows, implementing solutions that reduced review cycles by 25% and directly enhanced model performance for global user experiences. Authored and refined annotation guidelines for LLMs, speech, and voicebot models, ensuring consistency and improving data quality that underpins AI accuracy. Collaborated closely with engineering, product, and linguistic teams to build scalable, culturally-aware AI solutions and optimize tooling. Conducted in-depth linguistic audits of large-scale multilingual AI training data, identifying critical issues and implementing improvements to boost AI model efficacy. Whether it’s fine-tuning how a model hears us or how it interprets our words, I bring deep linguistic insight and practical operational strength to every project. I am actively seeking Senior AI/NLP, Data Linguistics, or Localization Lead roles. While open to remote opportunities globally, I am particularly interested in relocating to the United States or Europe, with a strong preference for countries like Switzerland, Germany, and Austria, where I can contribute to building empathetic and precise AI solutions.
