About me


I am an electrical engineer, freelance translator, and linguist, with graduate degrees in all three fields. I currently work as a freelance translator and editor, specializing in technical and scientific texts.

Major translation projects that I have completed include documentation for several software packages, automotive specs for Peugeot, Citroën, and MG, and EU-related documents.

In addition to translation, I have worked as software quality engineer (9 years) and researcher in the field of magnetospheric physics (theoretical work) and spacecraft instrumentation (design of spacecraft communications subsystems & testing of solid-state detectors used onboard spacecraft) (2 years).

I have also conducted research in Linguistics, particularly in Second-Language Acquisition and Phonetics, while working on my Linguistics degree. The two areas I concentrated on were:
- the accent of native Spanish speakers when they speak English;
- intonation patterns of questions in the Greek language.



Please visit my website, FRESNEL technical translations, for more information on my services and background.
