What I'm looking for

Remote or hybrid roles involving Russian language analysis, content evaluation, AI language evaluation, and quality review for AI and digital products.

Russian Language Specialist with a strong background in linguistics, writing, editing, and text analysis. I have over 15 years of experience working with Russian-language content across editorial, analytical, and AI-related contexts, with a consistent focus on linguistic accuracy, style, tone, clarity, and cultural nuance.

I specialize in language quality evaluation, linguistic QA, text annotation, and review of complex content, including AI-assisted and AI-generated text, identifying grammatical, stylistic, semantic, and non-native language issues.

Previously, I worked in large-scale editorial and analytical environments, including:

– producing and editing high-volume written content for major city media,

– compiling and synthesizing complex textual data from 10+ municipal departments into structured public-facing reports over multiple years.

I work confidently with complex and ambiguity-sensitive content, applying structured analytical thinking and high attention to detail in remote and asynchronous environments.

In parallel, I currently maintain an independent private practice focused on communication, language-aware consulting, and analytical work with complex human-centered content.

Languages: Russian (native), English (fluent), German (B1+).

Location: Germany (Berlin). Open to remote roles.
