Alexandre Andreoli's portrait

Hi, I’m Alexandre D. Faress Andreoli

Age: 32

Born and raised in Marseille, France.

Former care-worker, Alexandre settled in Japan in 2013 to pursue his dream of becoming a game translator. After two years of intensive Japanese studies, he successfully obtained his JLPT N1 and landed his first position as a translator/proofreader, and then as a project manager. His passion for gaming and linguistics soon brought him to work with major companies on world-famous IPs, and he now offers his expertise as a freelance game localization specialist.
