Localization Manager building AI-assisted, QA-driven game localization workflows.
Russian FederationWhat I'm looking for
I run end-to-end game localization into 30+ languages at GameBeat, starting from GDD review and drafting clear, structured slot and game rules that reduce downstream rework.
I validate technical formatting in JSON localization files—placeholders, HTML tags, links, character limits, non-breaking spaces, and visual layout boundaries—then bring AI-assisted workflows together with human review and automated product validation.
Before that, at Marathonbet I coordinated language support and QA, built an AI service that converts notification text into valid HTML, and helped develop an internal translation and localization automation platform. Earlier, I translated and localized betting/casino content into Spanish and co-engineered a methodology that cut a large sports database localization timeline from an estimated 36 months to 14 months.
