What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead localization and product work that turns complex games into culturally relevant, intuitive experiences for Middle Eastern players, using community insight and data-driven iteration to grow engagement and retention.

I've led Arabic game launches at Rivergame Interactive Technology, taking two core titles from 0 to 1 while managing 280,000+ words and building a 3,000+ term glossary. My localization work reduced language-related bugs by 24% and shortened version release cycles by 13%.

I create culturally relevant game experiences for Middle Eastern players, from Ramadan and Eid events that increased payment rates by 30% to Arabic community building that acquired 12,000 users in nine months. I also bring Chinese-to-Arabic, English-to-Arabic, and English-to-Portuguese translation experience across games, audiovisual content, and narrative projects.
