Former Senior Web Architect turned Technical Linguist. I combine hands-on software development experience with deep linguistic expertise (MA in Localization Management, University of Surrey) to eliminate technical and linguistic friction across digital products.

Since 2019, I have post-edited and evaluated 450,000+ words of MT/LLM output, localized 200,000+ words of product content, and produced 140+ hours of accessibility-compliant subtitling with a first-pass QC acceptance rate above 95%[cite: 1, 13, 19]. I bridge the gap between engineering teams and language services, ensuring code-level variable integrity, UI space preservation, and strict domain compliance.

Currently, I spearhead AI data annotation and machine translation post-editing (MTPE) projects, improving EN↔DE/ES/IT MT engine accuracy.

What I bring to every project: native-level, a linguist's eye for detail, and the technical fluency to manage complex multilingual workflows from brief to delivery.
