Samara K.

Localization Quality Assurance Coordinator

I'm a Brazilian professional with an international background and over 10 years of experience in localization, quality assurance, business operations, and process improvement. I've lived in Brazil, the Netherlands, Lebanon, Boston, and San Francisco, where I spent 3.5 years working with global technology companies including Apple, LinkedIn, and Glassdoor. My expertise includes localization QA, UX testing, process optimization, project coordination, and cross-functional collaboration. At Glassdoor, I coordinated localization projects and managed QA initiatives for the international markets. At LinkedIn, I improved operational efficiency by creating scalable processes, training new team members, and optimizing data quality. Earlier in my career, I led complex investigations at Petrobras after ranking 1st among more than 7,000 candidates in a highly competitive hiring process. I hold an MBA and a Master of Business Analytics from Hult International Business School and have hands-on experience with Python, SQL, Tableau, Excel VBA, Jira, and SAP. I'm passionate about delivering high-quality work, solving complex problems, and helping businesses improve their products and processes. If you're looking for someone who combines analytical thinking, attention to detail, and strong linguistic skills, I'd be happy to help.
