## What I'm looking for

```text
I'm looking for QA and localization work where I can lead quality efforts, test games or software across platforms, report actionable issues, and collaborate closely with localization teams and stakeholders.
```

## About

```text
I'm currently leading English-to-Tagalog localization QA at Lan-bridge Group, coordinating Philippine localization across transcreation and testing phases while monitoring final quality control for game builds.

Previously at Side/PTW Philippines, I managed client localization requests, assigned work to linguists, and tested PC and mobile software for linguistic and functional issues. My work has supported undisclosed Tencent IEGG projects and Activision Blizzard King’s Diablo Immortal.

I've also performed freelance manual and exploratory testing, including regression and retesting, and bring proofreading experience that strengthens my attention to detail, localization quality, and bug reporting.
