  • In my role as a Language Manager, I lead a team of language specialists and oversee the linguistic training for Meta AI to ensure our models are accurate and culturally relevant. I manage the end-to-end testing of products like Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Meta AI, where I focus on identifying linguistic and functional issues and driving them through to resolution. My work involves setting the standards—building style guides, resolving complex linguistic queries, and leading training sessions for both in-house teams and vendors to keep everyone aligned on our tools and quality requirements. I also handle the operational side, from hiring and onboarding new talent to supervising daily workflows and auditing vendor invoices to keep our budget and billing on track.
