CAREER PROFILE

With 15+ years of practical experience in Localization (l10n) and Internationalization (i18n) in the hospitality and tourism industry, I have proven expertise in successfully handling, managing and delivering different types of enterprise localization projects worldwide.

I have deep knowledge in managing and implementing a wide range of Localization and Internationalization Projects: documentation, desktop publishing, websites, mobile, multimedia, interpretation using up-to-date tools like Trados Studio, Catalyst, and many others.

Based on my technical background as a Microsoft Certified, I am an expert in the area of Internationalization (i18n). Handling a wide range of products like Content Management Systems, custom websites, mobile applications and games. During the years, I deeply learned and applied Internationalization concepts and best practices using a variety of technologies such as programming languages: Python, Java, C#, SQL, React, Python, MongoDB, MariaDB, Node.js, Tomcat, Express, PHP, JavaScript, JSON, XML, XLIFF.

As a big fan of Social Media Networks, I have a solid presence on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, TikTok, WT.Social, Pinterest, and Reddit.

In addition, I am very interested in the evolution of machine learning and its impact on the future of translation and localization. Recently I conclude my studies in Data Science using Python.

Finally, as a travel addict, I learned a lot about different cultures. This helps me deliver the client's global message to their target audience with ease. Among the countries, I visited, and I learned a lot from my journey there: Singapore, Thailand, Lebanon, Tunisia, Morocco, United Arab Emirates, Turkey. My traveling gives me the feel and the tone required when working on localization content for the Middle East, North African and Asian countries.
