With twenty years working in the localization industry in various international settings, I have acquired a broad knowledge of the ins-and-outs of localization from a practical and technical perspective. Beginning my career as a QA specialist overseeing a team of QA Engineers, I quickly found my niche in the technicalities of localization engineering. With considerable experience in both software and documentation engineering, I can apply my knowledge to all phases of the localization cycle, from evaluation and quotation of source materials, to preparation of translation kits, to all stages of engineering until final delivery, in the meantime providing support to internal team members, translators, engineering vendors, and clients. I enjoy unusual localization scenarios, and can quickly and efficiently provide custom solutions.
Experience
Beginning my localization career in Dublin, Ireland, and now based in Spain, I have gained experience in a number of positions with international Localization Service Providers, as well as being involved in consultancy in client-side roles.
