What I'm looking for
I am a motivated IT professional with over 10 years of experience, transitioning from language services to technology. My journey has equipped me with a unique blend of skills, particularly in IT support and localization. I hold a CompTIA A+ certification, with Core 1 completed and Core 2 in progress, showcasing my commitment to continuous learning and professional development.
In my current role as a Localization Specialist at Playrix, I have successfully configured and maintained virtual machines to ensure software compatibility on Mac environments. My collaboration with development teams has allowed me to identify and resolve linguistic and cultural issues effectively. I pride myself on my ability to document processes clearly, contributing to team knowledge sharing and enhancing operational efficiency.
My previous experience as a QA Tester and In-house Linguist at Keywords Studios further honed my technical skills, where I developed proficiency in navigating complex game software and creating detailed test cases. I am passionate about leveraging my diverse background in IT and language services to contribute to innovative projects and drive success in a dynamic work environment.
