About

I’m a native Thai linguistic expert based in Bangkok, working as a translator, MT post-editing (MTPE) specialist, and LQA reviewer for Thai–English content. I focus on making language accurate, fluent, and natural—checking grammar, terminology consistency, contextual meaning, and overall readability across different types of content, from technical and software materials to general digital text.

I also evaluate and refine machine-translated and AI-generated Thai content to ensure semantic consistency and cultural appropriateness. Using CAT tools, translation memories, and terminology resources, I follow client style guides and confidentiality requirements to deliver high-quality results on time, with clear communication throughout the project lifecycle.
