Indonesian Linguist | MT Post-Editing & QA Specialist | Virtual Assist

I'm an English–Indonesian linguist focused on machine translation QA. I've reviewed 260+ segments across sports and media content, catching mistranslated idioms, wrong domain terms, and alignment errors. The kind of mistakes that slip past reviewers who only skim. I also evaluate Indonesian AI speech output, rating generated clips for naturalness, pronunciation, and accuracy. Annotated MT QA samples are in my portfolio. I also work as a Virtual Assistant. For one client I ran lead outreach across 46 Facebook groups (155 tracked touchpoints), kept the tracking spreadsheet clean, and sent weekly reports. 105+ hours so far, and the contract is still running. Writing is my third lane: translation and localization that sounds natural in both languages, plus copywriting and proofreading when a project needs it. What I do best: Linguistic QA & post-editing (EN–ID) AI speech evaluation (Indonesian): naturalness, pronunciation, accuracy rating Virtual assistance: outreach, tracking, reporting, admin support Translation & localization (EN ↔ ID) Copywriting & proofreading Happy to discuss your project, just send me a message.
