My Services

Localization Project Management

Sonic Colors: Ultimate | Download and Buy Today - Epic Games Store

From initial planning to multi-language localization and LQA, I can take your media localization project to new audiences around the world. My goal: provide high-quality localization on time, under budget.

While at SEGA, I produced the first-time localizations of Sonic Colors Ultimate, Persona 3 Portable, and Persona 4 Golden.

TV dub credits include Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power (2024) and The Boys Presents: Gen V (2023), both of which involved 25+ dub languages and 40+ sub languages, 24-hour turnarounds, involvement from post-production to post-release marketing campaigns, and specialized security procedures.

I also provide consultation to game and production companies looking for tips and additional direction for their next game project. Shoot me an email and we’ll talk!

Translation & Editing

For ten years, I’ve honed the skill of transforming Japanese narration and dialogue into accurate, audience-pleasing equivalents for subtitles or dubbing.

My translation work has been featured on Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, Crunchyroll, HIDIVE, and more. Click here for a full list of published translations of movies, TV, anime, and games.

Outside the audiovisual realm, I have additional specializations in marketing, IT, medical, and pharmaceutical translation, as well as graduate-level training in many other translations disciplines.

Localization Engineering

A background in IT services, combined with the challenges of working in the fast-paced game industry, combine to give me the skills and knowledge to solve difficult localization challenges with CAT tools and custom-built technology.

Some of my accomplishments include:

  • Developing, testing, and implementing a fully-automated Python system that connected memoQ to developer SVN databases for real-time updating of proprietary XML structures from memoQ XLIFF
  • Creating custom XLIFF elements to work with memoQ’s XLIFF export shortcomings for document change tracking
  • Working with Nintendo to devise a similar automated system that linked their proprietary developer databases to our multiple language projects
  • Reverse-engineering TMX files to contain and manage multilingual string data for a 250,000+ JPC project
  • Writing custom scripts to convert proprietary and XML filetypes to ADR voice scripts that can be updated on the fly when needed
