What I'm looking for

I'm looking for international remote opportunities where I can apply Russian linguistic analysis, AI text evaluation, translation, localization, and quality-focused language work.

I evaluate AI-generated texts in Russian, including LLM outputs, linguistic quality, annotation, classification, and prompt/output analysis.

At the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation, I worked with embassies, ministries, universities, and international organizations. I drafted and reviewed official correspondence, consolidated university metrics, and supported international programmes and conferences.

I also provide German-language customer support and teach English and German online to learners aged 11–50. My lessons are tailored around grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, reading, and speaking.

With honours degrees in Linguistics and Applied and Experimental Linguistics, I bring native Russian, C1 English, and B2 German to translation, localization, proofreading, and cross-language content work.
