Mariana D.

I started my career in the gaming industry in 2010 in content creation, building a strong foundation in narrative, tone, and user experience. For the past 6+ years, I have specialized in Localization and Linguistic QA, supporting global digital products across games, mobile apps, software, and websites. I combine hands-on linguistic execution with strategic localization expertise, ensuring Brazilian Portuguese (pt-BR) quality across the full localization lifecycle — from translation and adaptation to build validation and live release support. Core expertise: • Linguistic QA (LQA) and internationalization testing (functional) • MTPE, AIPE and AI-assisted localization workflows • Data Annotation and LLM linguistic validation • Style Guide creation and terminology management • Glossary validation and quality standards enforcement • Build deployment and live content support • Cultural adaptation for the Brazilian market
