In this role, I collaborate with translators and the product team to ensure seamless localization and adaptation.

- The successful launch of new localizations and maintaining those we already have on the highest level, we have stopped the drop in numbers of paid users and get the 23% profit;
- another thing I'm proud of is our ICO, despite the fact it was sort of a 'hell', it went pretty good and allowed us to sponsor the AI project of ours;
- we have improved user experience by launching updated Knowledge Base almost from a scratch.
I have 7 years of experience in the localization of software, marketing campaigns, websites, and QA along with Machine Translation engines.

During these years I have worked on:

- Training, assessing, and supporting Project Managers;
- MT engines analysis (selection, creation, evaluation, adaptation, and preparation);
- MT engines maintenance;
- Bilingual data management;
- Monitoring MT output and evolution;
- Creation of guidelines, videos, and training;
- Negotiation/Training new posteditors;
- maintaining all the localizations of our main product (website builder) - English, Romanian, Portuguese/Brazilian, Ukrainian;
- the Ukrainian version of our main product (website builder) was finished and launched;
- I took part in the launching of the Polish and Turkish versions of our second website builder localizations. At the moment the German and Spanish versions are on their way.;
- the successful launch of three more services (calculator builder, AI-based project, and social media services);
- localization of our calculator builder into Japanese;
- launch and maintenance of our official English blog in 2016;
- maintenance of our English Knowledge Base;

I expect my next place of work to have ambitions to grow, but it should not be an unplanned and uncontrolled process. A great team, that shares the same idea - making everything in the best way possible. It doesn't really matter whether a company is big or not, what matters is that it takes care of its own employees.
