What I'm looking for

I seek roles combining project management with language technology and content operations, valuing cross-cultural collaboration, measurable impact, and opportunities to improve accessibility and AI-driven language systems.

I am a project manager and bilingual (Hindi–English) transcriptionist and translator with over three years' experience across film, arts, and music industries. I combine linguistic annotation, transcription and translation with data validation, metadata management, and SEO-driven content creation to improve accessibility and dataset quality for global platforms.

I have led international workshops, managed cross-functional teams, and driven measurable growth—boosting Instagram visibility by 56% and generating €0.2 million in business through targeted campaigns—while producing clear documentation, training assessors, and designing guidelines that enhance quality and consistency in language and content projects.
