Hi, I’m Nicolas Patsos, a localization QA expert based in Madrid with a passion for accuracy in translation, subtitling, and quality assurance across EN/ES/FR/Greek. I enjoy ensuring linguistic and cultural accuracy in software, annotation projects, and media content. I thrive both on independent projects and as part of a team.
My work spans localization QA for Apple Siri, gaming, and marketing materials; I speak English, French, Greek, and Spanish, and I am detail-oriented and comfortable navigating fast-paced environments.
