Having got a B.Sc. (Hons) in Naval Architecture from Strathclyde University, Glasgow, I started my career in Athens as an engineer and trainer, working for the Hellenic Aerospace Industry for 9 years. Needing a change from living in Athens, I resided in Nafplio where I taught English as a Foreign Language for 14 years in the private sector. At the same time, I turned to translation, studied and got a Diploma in Translation from the Institute of Linguists, England, and using my engineering background I specialized in technical translations from English into Greek. Since 2004, when I returned to Athens, I have attended seminars and have translated about 3,000,000 words for various companies worldwide.
My experience in translation covers scientific texts, technical manuals of varying nature, and software & website localization. For further details about my experience, please see my CV.
I normally use SDL Trados 2007, but have occasionally used Sat Transit PE, SDLX, Passolo, and Alchemy Publisher 2.0.
