What I'm looking for

I seek remote/contract evaluation roles leveraging my bilingual JP/EN skills in instruction-following, factuality, and safety editing, 15–25 hrs/week scalable, with collaborative teams, clear guidelines, and opportunities for assessments.

I am a Japanese–English bilingual evaluator focused on instruction following, factuality checks, and safety-first rewriting.

I create concise, guideline-compliant edits, response rankings, and clear rationales in US English and business-level Japanese, producing sample evaluations and rewrites across help-center, consumer, and technical domains.

I have led small teams in B2B outreach and conducted B2C consultations, building Excel-based trackers with basic automation, producing objection-handling materials, and maintaining checklists to reduce rework and improve pipeline hygiene.

I have academic experience in economics, strong fact-checking and documentation skills, TOEIC L&R 955, and five years of residency in the United States and Australia; I am available as an independent contractor based in Japan for 15–25 hours/week with US/EU overlap and ready for skills or project assessments.
