I am a city planner, I have a background in geography (including geomorphology, etc.). I also worked in an architecture office and I have developed my knowledge of civil engineering terminology. I can also translate AutoCAD or InDesign files.

I have a master in geography and a master from the Institut d'Etudes Politiques de Paris, I am familiar with political sciences, etc. and I wrote a master thesis on weapons programs and the new theaters of war.

My experience includes defense related technical manuals, such as user manuals for weapons and defense systems, radiocommunication systems, C4 systems, satellites...
