I translate and localize English digital and commercial content into natural Japanese, with eight years supporting international projects across gaming, software, e-commerce, and consumer-facing platforms.

At Amazon, I localize product descriptions, website content, and customer-facing information while maintaining terminology, style-guide compliance, and linguistic quality across multiple assignments.

Previously at Appen and GLOS, I reviewed and translated Japanese digital content, software interfaces, marketing materials, and language-data projects for accuracy, fluency, and cultural suitability.

I work with translation memory, terminology databases, linguistic QA, and machine translation post-editing to deliver clear, consistent Japanese for games, websites, apps, subtitles, and technical content.
