“UI bugs tremble before me”
I am a gameloc specialist, and I’ve been translating games into French for over 3 years! I’m an LQA menace, an aspiring FQA sniper, and a translator with a knack for giving voices to characters through natural and authentic dialogues.
Find me in a café groaning about AI while playing indie games on my Steam deck.
I have worked on:
World of Warcraft: Midnight — Tales of Seikyu — Duskfade — Thank You For Your Application — Easy Delivery Co. — A.I.L.A — Kaizen: A Factory Story — + More on my portfolio!

“I can spot animation bugs on an ant in the background”
I am an ex-app developer turned QA Specialist and Project Manager, with over 3 years of experience as an in-house QA Analyst on AAA titles at Ubisoft and currently at QUANTIC DREAM. I’m a gentle team leader and a team player who makes the best out of people’s strengths.
I am also an e-sport referee and absolute nerd who knows the titles of pretty much all games released these past 20 years (also cause I played most of them).
I have worked on:
Star Wars Eclipse — Beyond Good & Evil: 20th Anniversary Edition — Divinum — Beyond Good and Evil 2 — Moon Defender — + More to be announced

“No puns can resist me”
I’m a French translator with more than 4 years of experience and I have been specializing in game localization and Linguistic Quality Assurance for the past 2 years. I have the perfect amount of determination, creativity and twisted imagination to adapt all kinds of stories, from cute and cozy adventures to terrifying horror tales. Puns, rhymes and wordplay tremble before me as I tackle any challenge coming my way.
If you’re looking for me, I’m probably doodling or 100%ing a game I’ve sunk way too many hours in.
I have worked on:
Denshattack! – Tales of Seikyu – Duskfade – Tiny Bookshop – A.I.L.A – Easy Delivery Co. – Escape From Ever After – + More on my portfolio!

“Let me add it to my wishlist!”
I’ve been a QA Tester for over a 1 year, currently working at QUANTIC DREAM on AAA narrative games. With an eye for detail and always up for a challenge, not a single bug will stand in my way. I’ll help you polish your game with great care.
Having a fondness for cinema and level design, I’m usually daydreaming about impactful stories and I can’t resist the urge to talk about the latest movies or games for hours!

“Sorry I’m feeding my rabbit”
I’ve started working as a video game translator for the past year and a half, after working as a translation Project Manager for two years. I’ve traveled quite a bit, from London to Japan, but I’ve now unlocked my ultimate power: staying at home and forgetting about the sunlight. I enjoy a cozy life surrounded by video games and my familiar.
If I ever leave my house, it’s solely to go to the arcade and play rhythm games!
I have worked on:
Denshattack! – Tales of Seikyu – Duskfade – Thank You For Your Application – Escape From Ever After – Exo Rally Championship – Divinum – +More to be announced
