Alaina M. Brandt

Welcome to my portfolio

👋🏻 Hey there! My name is Alaina, I’m a subject matter expert in translation and localization. Currently, I’m upskilling in generative AI, machine learning, data science, and web programming. Something you should know about me is that I’m a teacher at heart - having taught English and Spanish and topics related to translation and localization across primary school and undergraduate, graduate, and professional development programs. My interests lie in working with languages and technology, particularly in transforming complex ideas into easily understood and visualized concepts.

Feel free to explore my growing portfolio to see examples of my developer work and get in touch if you’d like to collaborate!
