I've managed end-to-end localization for Quick Heal products across Windows, Mac, and mobile, covering project charters, budgets, resource-file preparation, vendor delivery, localization QA, and documentation projects in WordPress.

Previously, I owned localization for six Zynga games, including Mafia Wars and Dream Zoo, coordinating studio, marketing, content, art, and LQA teams across web, iPhone, and Android. At Symantec, I led internationalization QA for Workspace Streaming releases, designing test cases and strategy, tracking progress, and reporting quality status to stakeholders.
