Desmond Jiang

I have over 5 years of experience working in diverse fields, including education, localization, project coordination, and social media marketing. I began my career as an ESL educator, helping students of all ages improve their English language skills. This experience strengthened my communication abilities and deepened my understanding of cross-cultural dynamics.

As a bilingual Localization Specialist, I worked on high-profile projects for platforms like TED-Ed and TED Talks, as well as in the video game industry, where I localized content for genres such as MOBA, MMORPG, and RPG. My role involved adapting game dialogue, menus, and narratives for different cultures, ensuring that the gaming experience resonated with local players while maintaining linguistic accuracy.

Currently, as a Project Coordinator at Gientech, I manage localization projects, collaborating with cross-functional teams to deliver high-quality, culturally relevant content on time and within budget. I also have experience in social media management, where I led successful campaigns across platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and WeChat to boost brand engagement and reach global audiences.

My diverse background, strong organizational skills, and bilingual fluency in English and Mandarin have equipped me to excel in managing complex projects, bridging cultural gaps, and delivering impactful marketing and localization solutions.

I have a diverse educational background that has helped shape my career in communication, localization, and cross-cultural engagement. Although my formal studies were not within a traditional degree program, my professional experiences, combined with my bilingual upbringing, have provided me with an extensive understanding of language, culture, and communication.

Growing up in both Taiwan and the United States, I developed native fluency in both Mandarin and English, which has been essential in my work as a bilingual localization specialist. This unique linguistic skill set, along with my experience in ESL education, has deepened my expertise in language acquisition, cultural adaptation, and effective communication across global markets.

I continuously seek learning opportunities, both through formal and hands-on experiences, to enhance my skills in project coordination, localization, and digital marketing. This practical knowledge has allowed me to thrive in roles that require both strategic thinking and attention to detail.
