What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to leverage my language skills and AI expertise in a collaborative environment focused on innovation and quality.

I am a dedicated language professional with over 10 years of experience in various roles, including content moderation, search quality evaluation, and translation. My journey began as an editor for business publications, where I honed my writing and editing skills. I have a strong background in Japanese localization, having worked with major companies like Apple and Google to enhance user experiences through AI.

My passion lies in creating better Japanese language experiences, leveraging my expertise in AI and language communication. I have successfully reviewed and improved AI-generated content, ensuring high-quality outputs that resonate with Japanese audiences. My commitment to excellence is evident in my ability to identify and resolve localization issues, making me a valuable asset in any language-focused project.
