About me

I started my career as technical translator in 1983 when I was still studying at Helsinki University of Technology. Since my M.Sc (mech.eng) graduation in 1985, I have been a full-time translator. I have lived and worked in Finland, Germany, and in the U.S. Currently, I run translation business and have residence both in Finland and the U.S. so you can deal either with a European or an American company.

I specialize in mechanical engineering, automotives and trucks, machine tools, manufacturing technology, computers, hardware and software, information technology, and telecommunications. I have also experience of various machines and devices, printing technology, injection-moulding, measuring instruments, material technology, videos, multimedia, games, appliances, audiovisual, and household devices, etc.

The specialities of my spouse, whom I run the translation business with, include medical instruments, telecommunications, electronics, marketing, sales, business management, and accounting.

Types of documents: technical and user manuals, brochures, and other marketing materials, contracts, agreements, material safety data sheets, EN standards, web sites, software strings.

	X Why did the menu change? The updates to the menu were made to make the site easy and more intuitive for visitors. Obviously, like any change, this may take a few days to get used to. The dropdown menus have been divided into two-dimensional panels with similar items grouped together under headings. This eliminates scrolling for those with smaller screens, and also improves readability. More information on the changes... Where is the "My ProZ.com" menu? Mouseover your name at the top of the screen. Here you will find information about your account, your email settings, and more.
