Hello! I'm

Hugo

I'm an experienced professional

Short bio

I was born in Portugal in the mid-1970s and have been living in Catalonia since 2007. Initially, I resided in Barcelona, and more recently, I have made my home in the beautiful city of Vilanova i la Geltrú.

After more than eight years in customer service, helping people and collaborating with diverse teams across cultures, I decided to take a new direction and join Welocalize. Today, I focus on translation, localization, review, and cultural adaptation (EN > PT), bringing clarity, nuance, and empathy to every project.
What truly drives me is the intersection of language and technology. I love finding creative ways to make content resonate with people, ensuring every word feels natural and meaningful. Attention to detail and a commitment to excellence are at the heart of my work, values that continue to shape how I grow and connect in this new chapter of my career.

I possess a strong academic curiosity, which is why I have decided to pursue further education in Anthropology at the Universitat Rovira i Virgili, many years after completing my initial academic journey. I have a particular interest in the relationship between humans and machines, as well as in the field of artificial intelligence. I am also an enthusiast of cooperativism and am involved with Cooperativa L’Espigall in the city of Vilanova i la Geltrú, where I contribute to building a stronger and more community-driven local economy.
