Meet your instructor
Tamara Tirják
Hi there, I’m Tamara. For the past 20 years, I’ve gathered extensive experience in localization, working multiple roles. As the former Head of Localization at Frontier Developments, I was leading the team responsible for defining the narrative and localization strategy, pipelines and execution across all games, marketing and studio activity to deliver and support all products globally.
I am passionate about helping people rise to new heights while delivering high-quality localization solutions that enhance the gaming experience for players around the world.
My career choice stems from my love for languages, and I’m continuously adding new ones to my repertoire. Outside localization, I’m a certified yoga instructor and I enjoy immersing myself in creative crafts.
