Bilingual communication specialist passionate about AI and education.
What I'm looking for
I am a native Japanese speaker with a strong command of English, holding a B2 proficiency level. My professional journey has been enriched by my experiences in bilingual communication and translation, particularly within the architecture and construction sectors. I have successfully translated complex technical documents and facilitated communication between international architects and local teams, ensuring clarity and understanding across language barriers.
In addition to my translation work, I have contributed to the development of educational materials, proofreading textbooks and creating engaging example sentences for English learning applications. My passion for language extends to teaching, where I have had the pleasure of instructing Japanese to non-Japanese students. Currently, I am self-studying AI technologies, with aspirations to become a professional AI engineer, focusing on Natural Language Processing and AI Transformers.
