Language technology professional with 12+ years in localization, now building production-ready applied-AI solutions inside Acolad's AI team. I design and evaluate the models and workflows that power modern translation, teach prompt engineering and machine translation to language professionals, and publish a weekly newsletter on working smarter with AI. Having started as a translator, I learned the work from the inside — which lets me see exactly which friction is worth automating and describe it precisely enough for AI to handle the rest. I work at the intersection of technology, people, and production, where applied AI delivers measurable efficiency gains.
