What I'm looking for

I am looking for a full-time remote opportunity that values collaboration and innovation, with a focus on localization and quality assurance.

I am a trilingual Localization QA and Translation Specialist with over 10 years of experience ensuring linguistic and functional quality across web, mobile, and game platforms. My career has been marked by proven leadership as a QA and LQA Team Lead at Huawei and Oppo, where I honed my skills in managing teams and delivering high-quality results. Currently, I am studying Computer Science, focusing on C++ and Python, which allows me to combine my technical fluency with cultural and linguistic precision.

Throughout my career, I have successfully delivered QA, LQA, translation, and bug reporting for over 50 mobile and video game projects. My role as a Freelance Localization Tester and Translator has enabled me to work with various clients, ensuring translation consistency and linguistic accuracy across platforms. I am highly adaptable, deadline-driven, and experienced in collaborating with global teams in remote workflows.
