Bio


English ↔ Spanish Translator | AI Auditor | AI Linguist | MTPE Specialist | Localization & LQA Expert


I am a senior English ↔ Spanish translator, AI linguist, subtitler, and localization specialist with more than 27 years of professional experience helping organizations communicate accurately across languages, cultures, and technologies.


Throughout my career, I have translated, reviewed, subtitled, and quality-assured more than 2 million words of legal, medical, institutional, technical, and audiovisual content for international clients. My experience spans traditional translation and today's AI-driven language workflows, including Machine Translation Post-Editing (MTPE), AI auditing, Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) processes, localization QA (LQA), linguistic review, and terminology management.


Selected projects include contributions to the Spanish edition of the Global Slavery Index 2023, subtitling for Mastercard's Digital Safari corporate training series, English ↔ Spanish translation of legal and compliance documentation, medical-device documentation for HealthBeacon, aviation materials for the ASA CX-3 Flight Computer, and subtitling work for Filmoteca Española and international audiovisual productions.


My areas of specialization include:


• Legal Translation
• Medical & Healthcare Translation
• Institutional & Human Rights Content
• AI Auditing & AI Linguistics
• Machine Translation Post-Editing (MTPE)
• Localization & Linguistic QA (LQA)
• Audiovisual Translation & Subtitling
• Technical Translation
• Transcription & Multilingual Content Review


I combine extensive linguistic expertise with a background in software development and systems analysis, allowing me to work effectively at the intersection of language, technology, and quality assurance.


Tools and platforms include SDL Trados Studio, memoQ, Smartcat, Subtitle Edit, Aegisub, WordPress, Adobe InDesign, and a variety of AI-assisted translation and localization workflows.


Whether the project involves legal precision, medical accuracy, audiovisual adaptation, localization quality, or AI-generated content evaluation, my objective remains the same: delivering clear, accurate, culturally appropriate language that meets both client expectations and end-user needs.

Developed a free AI-assisted English Verb Conjugator web application for language learners, featuring regular and irregular verbs, participles, pronunciation support, and interactive practice.

I am committed to accuracy, confidentiality, and clear communication. Whether translating legal documentation, reviewing AI-assisted content, performing linguistic quality assurance, or creating subtitles that preserve meaning and impact, I help organizations communicate across languages with confidence.
