What I'm looking for

I seek roles in multilingual customer support, localization or testing where I can apply technical troubleshooting, translation expertise, and cross-team coordination in an organized, collaborative environment.

I am a multilingual customer support professional and translator with extensive experience in software support, localization, and quality control across international teams.

I have worked in customer-facing roles at Avast, JetBrains, MEWS Systems and Icon Communication Centres, handling technical queries, billing, refunds, license management, and troubleshooting while supporting Portuguese-speaking agents.

My background includes functional business testing and securities administration, bridging IT and production to ensure real-case release validation, plus hands-on experience with SharePoint, Salesforce, Zendesk, SAP and related tools.

I also work freelance as a translator, proofreader and language teacher, with project experience in technical manuals, IT, business and literary translation, and volunteer work for Translators without Borders and UN Volunteers.
