What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative environment where I can enhance AI-driven language models and contribute to impactful linguistic projects.

I am a highly skilled linguistics expert with extensive experience in Swedish language translation, proofreading, and AI evaluation. My journey began with a Master of Arts in Linguistics from Lund University, followed by another in Applied Linguistics from UC Berkeley. Over the years, I have honed my expertise in working with large language models (LLMs) and have been involved in various dynamic projects that leverage my linguistic skills.

Throughout my career, I have held significant positions at renowned companies such as TransPerfect and Lionbridge, where I managed high-quality translation projects and evaluated AI translation models. My role as a Senior Linguist and AI Evaluator allowed me to collaborate closely with developers to refine algorithms and improve data accuracy. I take pride in my ability to deliver precise and impactful linguistic solutions while continuously refining my proficiency in AI-driven language models.

In addition to my professional experience, I have led workshops on linguistic best practices and contributed to the development of AI-assisted translation workflows. My passion for linguistics and commitment to quality have driven me to achieve notable successes, including optimizing subtitling processes and enhancing translation accuracy through comprehensive data annotation projects.
