About me
I am a certified CAD-CAM designer, process engineer, therewith I hold a PhD in comparative literature and literary theory. With an in-depth knowledge of mechanical and electrical engineering and excellent writing skills – see my publication’s list below - , I am fully aware of the importance of the style and the precise choice of words. My translations are not just precise, but have style and easy-to-read, not in the least because of my 10 years long cooperation with one of the biggest Hungarian publishers.

I use various CAT tools, including Trados, Wordfast and SDLX.
