PhilippinesWhat I'm looking for
I am a senior localization professional with over 15 years of experience enabling global businesses to communicate across linguistic and cultural boundaries. I specialize in e-commerce, software and game localization, and life sciences translations including clinical outcomes assessments and medical device content.
I deliver end-to-end localization solutions encompassing Linguistic Quality Assurance, subtitling and multimedia localization, transcreation, transcription, and general project management. I implement TMS/CAT tool workflows (Phrase, MemoQ, Trados, Lokalise, Smartling) and integrate AI-assisted engines to improve throughput and consistency.
My career highlights include managing high-volume projects and clients, achieving an 80% profit margin on a major account, increasing junior manager productivity by 50%, and attaining a near-perfect QTP score of 2.99/3.00 for quality, timeliness and professionalism. I have led large-scale FI (For Information) medical project portfolios and handled complex file types like IDML and SRT with character limits and multimedia requirements.
I am client- and outcome-focused, skilled in file analysis, TMS training, ROI tracking, and vendor management, and committed to building scalable, quality-first localization programs that enable successful global expansion.
