Japanese Language & AI Quality Specialist

I am a Japanese language specialist with professional experience in technical translation, patent translation, translation quality assurance (QA), MTPE, ASR validation, and AI/LLM evaluation. My work focuses on preserving meaning, ensuring consistency, and producing reliable, evidence-based quality assessments across multilingual content.

Over the past several years, I have contributed to large-scale language and AI evaluation projects involving translation, speech, image, and text data. My experience spans technical documentation, software localization, patent-related content, and quality assessment for enterprise AI systems.

Professional Experience

Technical & Software Translation

I have translated technical and software documentation covering engineering, manufacturing, electronics, cloud services, AI technologies, and IT systems. My work emphasizes terminological consistency, structural accuracy, and natural Japanese appropriate for professional users.

Patent Translation

I have passed patent translation assessments and worked with patent-related documentation in the mechanical, electrical, and IT domains. My background includes translating patent specifications, claims, and technical descriptions while maintaining precision and consistency in terminology and logical structure.

Translation QA & MTPE

Beyond translation itself, I regularly evaluate translation quality, identify semantic deviations, verify terminology consistency, and review machine translation post-editing (MTPE). My focus is on preserving meaning rather than producing literal translations.

AI Evaluation & Quality Assurance

I have practical experience evaluating multimodal AI outputs, including text, speech, images, and reasoning tasks. My work includes:

• LLM response evaluation

• ASR validation and transcription QA

• Image and multimodal annotation

• Instruction-following assessment

• Hallucination and factual consistency review

• Structured English rationales for quality decisions

These projects require careful judgment, reproducible decision-making, and consistent application of detailed evaluation guidelines.

Selected Experience

• Translated more than 730,000 words on the Gengo platform while maintaining consistently strong QA performance across long-term projects.

• Passed the TransPerfect language assessment for Micron (UI/UX localization and marketing transcreation).

• Experience with technical translation projects for engineering and software documentation.

• Contracted for patent translation work in the mechanical, electrical, and IT fields.

• Contributed to enterprise-scale AI evaluation and quality assurance projects involving multilingual data.
