Bio
Localization workflow tools — PDF review and Arabic/RTL layout


I am the creator of BasetLoc, a collection of tools for translation and localization workflows.


For translated-PDF review, PDF QC supports source/target comparison, human review of findings, and export of confirmed corrections for DTP. For presentation delivery, the PowerPoint tool provides formatting, AutoFit, text-direction, and RTL layout/mirroring controls. Localization Prep prepares supported design and Office files for translation workflows and rebuild review.


If one of these tasks is part of your work, visit the relevant tool page and describe your workflow through the request form. Compatibility, licensing, availability, and final pricing are confirmed by email.

Professional background

With over 25 years of hands-on experience spanning localization engineering, team management, and Tier 2 product support, I am exploring new opportunities where I can bring that depth to a strong product or support team.
Most recently, I served as a Technical Support Engineer at Phrase a.s., supporting the full Phrase product suite — TMS, Strings, Studio, and Orchestrator — across the EMEA time zone. I consistently exceeded team KPIs, including a solved-ticket rate roughly 7.4% above the team standard, an average First Reply Time of 15 minutes (12 minutes in one tracked quarter, the fastest on the team), and an average resolution time of 14 hours. I served as the team's Subject Matter Expert for the Phrase Strings Git connector and the Sitecore connector, and built a series of custom GPTs and a custom Phrase Orchestrator workflow that supported team operations and unblocked customer-specific use cases.
Before Phrase, I led localization engineering and DTP departments at AGATO, DBGroup, BayanTech / SawaTech, and Future Group / Contentech, contributing to projects for global brands including Microsoft, Intel, HP, Dell, and Cisco. My hands-on toolset covers the major CAT, DTP, and observability platforms — a full inventory is in the attached CV.
I am a native Arabic speaker, fluent in English, and equally comfortable working independently or alongside Product, Engineering, Customer Success, and Solution Architect colleagues on complex cases. I would welcome any technical assessment that helps you evaluate fit.
I would be glad to discuss how my background aligns with your needs. Thank you for your time and consideration.
