I've spent the last 9+ years doing one thing well: making English content sound native in Brazilian Portuguese. Not "technically correct" Portuguese — the kind that actual Brazilians read without friction.
I localize SaaS platforms, apps, marketing campaigns, and websites — and increasingly, that includes post-editing AI/MT output that misses what only a native specialist catches: awkward register, cultural blind spots, terminology that technically translates but doesn't land.
I work with Phrase, memoQ, and SDL, and I've handled everything from CRM interfaces (Pipedrive is an ongoing client) to editorial content for National Geographic.
Whether it's a product UI string, a full marketing campaign, or SEO/GEO-optimized copy targeting the Brazilian market — I adapt for the audience, not just the language.
300+ projects on Upwork. 100% Job Success. If your content needs to actually work in Brazil, I can help.
