Mexican-American linguist and Top Rated Plus localization & linguistic QA specialist with 11+ years of experience in translation, subtitling, captioning, and large-scale content review for global organizations, including UNESCO and Fortune 500 companies. I was born in the United States and primarily raised in Mexico, which gave me a bilingual and bicultural foundation from an early age. I hold a BA in Foreign Languages, an MA in Applied Linguistics (focused on language testing, assessment, and CEFR-aligned frameworks), and an Associate Degree in Mathematics. I have also lived in nine countries, which has strengthened my ability to work across linguistic varieties and cultural contexts. For more than 11 years, I have worked in language-related roles including translation, editing, localization, curriculum support, and linguistic quality assurance. I worked for UNESCO for four years as a Spanish and English translator, editor, instructor, and contributor to cultural and educational projects. I have also taught languages and test preparation at the university level, including at Tecnológico de Monterrey. As a freelancer, I have participated in more than 1,000 projects, primarily in linguistic quality assurance and content review for captioning, subtitling, transcription, localization, and AI-assisted language workflows. My responsibility is typically to review, correct, and approve content before publication, ensuring accuracy, consistency, naturalness, readability, and compliance with client standards. I have supported projects for more than 25 Fortune 500 companies, as well as universities, government agencies, healthcare organizations, educational platforms, and media companies. In many cases, my role has been to serve as the final linguistic checkpoint before content is delivered to end users. Core expertise: • Linguistic Quality Assurance (LQA) and content review • Subtitling, captioning, and transcription QA • Localization and MT post-editing (MTPE) • Spanish (Mexico) and neutral Latin American Spanish adaptation • Educational content and curriculum review • UI/UX linguistic review for digital products and applications • AI-assisted language workflows and quality validation systems I enjoy roles that require precision, analytical thinking, and responsibility for ensuring language quality at scale across complex multilingual systems.

Sitting at the intersection of advanced linguistics and Agentic AI, building systems that don't just speak; instead, they reason, integrate, and act. With a Master's degree in Creative Writing from Waseda University, Tokyo, and native proficiency in both Swedish and English, I bring a rigorous, detail-oriented approach to AI engineering and LLM development. Currently, I work as an AI Engineer and Consultant with Turing and Magic Data Technology, where I build and deploy production-grade AI agents using Microsoft Agent Framework, LangGraph DeepAgents, and LangChain RAG architectures. My work goes beyond evaluation; I design, test, and ship agentic workflows integrated with LLM providers like OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, and Anthropic, containerized with Docker and deployed on Azure cloud infrastructure. My background allows me to bridge the gap between raw code and human connection. I am fluent in six languages (including Japanese JLPT N1, German C2, and Spanish C2) and have spent over a decade working across Tokyo, Berlin, and Beijing. This cross-cultural experience is vital for building AI systems that are not only technically robust but culturally intelligent. Core Expertise: • Agentic AI Engineering: Microsoft Agent Framework, LangGraph DeepAgents, LangChain, RAG architectures, and vector databases. • Production Python: uv, ruff, pytest, BDD, and CI/CD pipeline design and maintenance. • Cloud & Deployment: Docker, Azure cloud, and observability of agentic workflows. • Multilingual Annotation & LLM Evaluation: High-quality training data in English, Swedish, Japanese, German, and Spanish. Passionate about building AI that is eloquent, accurate, and production-ready. Currently open to AI Engineering, agent development, and LLM implementation opportunities.

I'm a native Mexican software engineer and university professor with strong English and Spanish language skills. I'm also and avid gamer, culture lover and a never-ending student of the localization process. Since I'm part of the IT industry I also focus on translating Web sites, manuals, software interfaces and tech and management related texts to neutral Spanish or with the Latin American market in mind. Nontheless, I have a broad knowledge in many other topics, like education, art and personal development. I am also a skilled researcher so I can understand and know about many other topics. I'm always willing to communicate with experts or dig in specialized forums and papers, to get a grasp of what a term really means. I know the importance of time, the impact a couple of hours could have in a project, so rest assured I will deliver the work on time and error free. You are hiring someone who is reliable and who will give the 110% if necesary. I believe in the importance of honesty and hard work to make the world a better place and I abide by those principles in everything I do. ► AS A TRANSLATOR... My top priority it to get messages across audiences. That is not achieved only by knowing another language, but by understanding the message in the first place and knowing about the culture of the target audience. I believe it's important to get the meaning but at the same time it's important to deliver texts that feel natural and are pleasant to read.
