What I'm looking for

I seek a role in a dynamic organization where I can leverage my linguistic skills to enhance communication and cultural engagement.

I am a detail-oriented and dependable language specialist with over five years of experience in providing high-quality Bengali and Chittagonian linguistic services. My expertise includes translation, editing, subtitling, and localization across various sectors, including legal, medical, and gaming. I have a proven ability to handle high-volume projects with precision, having logged over 1,500 hours of linguistic contribution to educational content for Bengali learners at Duolingo.

Currently, I am localizing and authoring legal content for a major global dating app, ensuring accuracy and cultural relevance in sensitive documentation. My freelance work has allowed me to translate and localize over 1 million words, primarily in the medical domain, consistently delivering high-quality work that adheres to project guidelines. I am passionate about contributing my linguistic expertise to a forward-thinking organization that values impactful communication and cultural engagement.
