Bio

I am an experienced and versatile language services professional with a strong foundation in communication, document handling, and multilingual content creation. With over four years of freelance experience since 2021, I have specialized in translating, transcribing, subtitling, proofreading, and localizing content across English, Hindi, and Malayalam languages. My work spans various domains including legal, medical, and general business communication, showcasing my ability to adapt to industry-specific terminology and style requirements.

I possess excellent typing proficiency and a keen eye for detail, ensuring high-quality output and strict adherence to deadlines. My technical expertise includes working with tools such as Loft, Smartcat, Yugo, Aegisub, and Subtitle Edit, especially in segmentation and time-coding for subtitles. I have successfully delivered projects involving legal documents (affidavits, partnership deeds, sales deeds, inquest reports), patient information leaflets, clinical trial documentation, device manuals, and more, while maintaining confidentiality and accuracy.

Prior to my freelance career, I worked at Just Dial Limited from 2017 to 2020 as a Senior Executive in the Escalations department, where I managed customer interactions across email, chat, and calls. I was consistently recognized for high-quality service and was awarded as a Top Performer, frequently achieving top scores in performance assessments.

In addition to my core competencies, I am skilled in video editing using Adobe Premiere Pro and Microsoft Office tools. I am known for being a reliable multi-tasker with a solid grasp of project and time management, client communication, and business development. My strong work ethic and ability to build client trust have led to increased client engagement and repeat collaborations.

Originally from Kerala, I am currently open to long-term work opportunities where I can continue to leverage my diverse skills and contribute meaningfully to language service projects.

Keywords: I can do voice overs, dubbings, subtitling, translation for English Hindi Malayalam languages.
