Services

Three services, one standard of quality.

I can step into any part of your localization workflow: human translation, Spanish copy written for search, or post-editing machine and AI output until it reads like it was written in Spanish from the start.

i.

Translation & Localization

EN > ES-LA translation for product UI, help centers, marketing campaigns, apps and subtitles. I follow your style guide and adapt everything else for Latin American readers.

  • E-commerce, SaaS & tech
  • Marketing & transcreation
  • Legal, technical & medical
  • Subtitling (TED Talks)
ii.

SEO Content Writing

Spanish content that gets found. I research keywords in Spanish, map them to search intent, and write articles that reach page one. This is not simply translating the English keywords.

  • Spanish keyword research
  • On-page optimization
  • Multilingual SEO localization
  • Semrush · Keyword Planner
iii.

AI Copyediting & MTPE

Light and full post-editing of MT and LLM output, plus linguistic evaluation of Spanish AI models. You get the speed of AI with the accuracy of a native Spanish editor.

  • Full & light MTPE
  • LLM output evaluation
  • Prompt engineering for Spanish
  • DeepL Pro workflows

About

Engineer by training, writer by trade. I treat every string as a deliverable: it has to be accurate, consistent and on time, and it has to read like it was written in Spanish.

I've spent more than six years localizing content for global tech brands, LSPs and AI teams. My engineering degree shapes how I work: structured, focused on detail and comfortable with technical content. My background in writing and SEO makes sure the Spanish reads naturally and gets found.

For vendor managers

Ready to onboard in days, not weeks.

You need a linguist who is reliable from the first job. Here is how we can start working together, and the tools I already use every day.

  1. Send a test

    Send a sample of your real content. I'll return it with notes on terminology and style choices.

  2. Paperwork, done fast

    NDA, vendor forms, tax details and rate agreement, usually completed within 48 hours.

  3. Add me to your TMS

    Invite me to your Phrase, Smartling or Trados project. I'll get up to speed on your TMs, glossaries and style guides before the first job.

  4. Deliver, then scale

    Same quality on every job, with clear communication and capacity for high volume.
