What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can own language quality for multilingual products and AI training data—applying strict guidelines, MTPE/LQA expertise, and HITL AI evaluation to deliver dependable, release-ready outcomes.

I’m a Senior Brazilian Portuguese language specialist with 15+ years in language quality assurance, localization, and linguistic data review. I focus on linguistic accuracy, terminology consistency, fluency, cultural appropriateness, and strict compliance with detailed quality guidelines.

In localization programs for large-scale, international releases, I perform LQA and MT post-editing, decide when full retranslation is required, and provide clear corrective feedback. I also support speech and multimodal workflows through video annotation, time-aligned transcription, and dataset validation.

Recently, I expanded my expertise through professional training in AI evaluation, prompt engineering, human-in-the-loop (HITL) workflows, and enterprise data annotation. I apply rigorous quality thinking to AI outputs—checking for hallucinations, logical errors, bias/fairness concerns, and overall response quality.

My professional ethos is simple: meticulous review, guideline discipline, and consistently reliable decisions. I’ve been entrusted with final linguistic quality approval in global localization programs, serving as a quality gate before release.
