Bio
Welcome to my page. I am a freelance translator of technical (particularly electrical and electronic engineering, with particular interest in renewable energy and appropriate technologies) and commercial material, as well as academic, journalistic and literary translation of a wide range of subjects (see Keywords below).

As a freelancer I can offer the freedom and flexibility to trace your project and its needs to the finest detail. While maintaining the highest standard of professionalism, I specialise in specific requirements and out-of-the-way areas of expertise. Recent translation work has covered everything from software manuals and industrial control systems to the protection of the forests of northern Russia, archaeological discoveries in the Karakum Desert and articles for the Grove Dictionary of Music. Not to mention any amount of general business and technical material.

Experience: although only in the last year have I become a full-time translator, I have been translating on a part-time basis for five years, both for direct clients and for agencies.

Qualifications and skills: In addition to the translation and interpreting qualification listed separately (for which I was awarded first class honours and the year prize), I have a degree in electrical and electronic engineering and a broad scientific training but also a keen and active interest in the arts, in particular in music and poetry; these in turn inform both my competence in these fields and the quality of the finished English.

A final word. Translation is my pleasure as well as my living, and this is reflected in my spare-time activity, translating and acting as interpreter in subjects that interest me. For worthy causes I also work on a voluntary basis and have a 10/10 rating with Translations for Progress (see www.translationsforprogress.org).
