What I'm looking for

I'm looking for English–Sinhala language work involving translation, MTPE, linguistic QA, data validation, annotation, transcription, or audio-quality evaluation, where I can support accurate, consistent language content.

I've delivered English–Sinhala translation, editing, proofreading, transcription, MTPE, and linguistic QA across freelance projects since 2021. My work spans technical, academic, IT, web, app, marketing, and general content.

For a Google-funded machine translation project at the University of Moratuwa, I translated technical and academic documents and supported language-data validation and quality assurance. I've also contributed to 400,000+ words of collaborative MTPE work, reviewing output for accuracy, fluency, terminology, and consistency.
