Gwang Ryul L.

Hi, I'm a bilingual Korean and English translator, editor, and AI data evaluator with over 20 years of hands-on experience. I hold a university degree in Business Administration and Accounting, and I lived overseas for about 7 years—6 years in the United States (California and Ohio) and 1 year in Paris. Having lived and worked in both cultures, I am truly native and culturally fluent in both English and Korean. Throughout my career, I've handled high-stakes translations where precision and context are critical. My background includes translating diplomatic speeches for former UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, official documents for the Korean government, corporate accounting audits, international business contracts, and scientific papers. I also worked for 7 years in international trade and brand licensing with European cosmetic brands, using English and Korean daily in real-world negotiations. In addition to traditional translation, I actively work on AI model evaluation and localization projects: - LLM & AI Evaluation: Reviewing and ranking model outputs, catching subtle factual errors and hallucinations, and ensuring Korean responses sound natural and accurate. - MTPE (Machine Translation Post-Editing): Polishing machine-translated text quickly to ensure it reads like high-quality human writing while strictly preserving the original meaning. - Audio & Voice Evaluation: Testing voice assistants, checking pronunciation naturalness, and reviewing transcriptions. - Business, Financial & Legal Translation: Financial statements, commercial agreements, marketing copy, and enterprise reports. A few facts about my work ethic: - 100% Job Success Score and Top Rated status on Upwork across 40+ completed contracts. - In over 20 years of professional freelancing, I have never missed a client deadline. - I believe the most important quality in this work is understanding the client's actual goal and delivering clean, dependable work on time. I am open to ongoing hourly projects, AI testing batches, and translation or editing contracts. I look forward to working together.
