What I'm looking for

I’m looking for remote subtitling, MTPE, and voice-over projects—plus AI Arabic voice/data work—where accuracy, idiomatic Arabic, and fast, broadcast-ready delivery matter. I’m open to full-time, part-time, or project-based roles.

I bring nearly two decades of professional experience in media localization, subtitle translation, machine translation post-editing (MTPE), voice-over performance, and AI content development. I’m known for producing accurate, idiomatic, broadcast-quality Arabic outputs under tight deadlines.

I’ve been trusted by world-class media companies including Iyuno (SDI Media), SFERA by Deluxe, and Rev, delivering localized content for platforms such as Netflix, Disney, Discovery, History, and HGTV. I’m proficient across industry-standard tools including GTS, GTS Pro, and the Sfera Platform, and I work confidently in Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) plus Hejazi and Levantine dialects.

Beyond traditional localization, I contribute Arabic AI voice data—recording Free Talk speech sessions and performing MTPE, QA, and TTS evaluation to support Arabic ASR/TTS training and fine-tuning. My approach blends linguistic precision with measurable quality assurance for real production pipelines.
