What I'm looking for

I seek remote roles where I can apply linguistics and AI training skills to improve LLMs, subtitling, and localization quality within collaborative, detail-oriented teams.

I am a dedicated linguist with over 8 years' experience in translation, subtitling, transcription, MTPE, and AI training, delivering culturally aware and technically accurate work for global clients.

I have supported LLM evaluation, data labeling, response analysis, and dataset validation, contributing to higher model accuracy through detailed error analysis and quality assurance.

I collaborate with cross-functional teams, develop evaluation guidelines, and maintain confidentiality and consistency while improving localization workflows and subtitle/dubbing synchronization.
