WHO I AM
I am a native speaker of Russian based in St. Petersburg and a professional translator with a MSc degree in electrical engineering from St. Petersburg State Mining Institute, a formal training in translation, and four years of experience as a translator. I worked as an electrical engineer at a transformer substation manufacturer and as a power supply designer at a mining equipment and processing plant developer, and also served my internship at a processing plant of a diamond mining enterprise. In this way I have gathered direct technical experience in electrical engineering and mining. As a patent attorney assistant, for about two years I was involved in helping foreign applicants apply for patents with the Russian and Eurasian Patent Offices. Over the last two years I have translated into Russian over 810,000 words worth of patent applications and also proofread over 100 translations of patent applications. At the moment I am working at a major producer of electric drives (both motors and converters) as a customer support engineer.

FIELDS OF EXPERTISE
• Electrical Engineering, including power systems, electric drives, electronics, automatic control;
• Energy/Power Generation, including renewable energy;
• Mechanical Engineering;
• Mining, including surface/underground mining, mining machinery, processing plants;
• Patents related to the above fields.

HOW I DIFFER
Having extensive knowledge of the subject fields backed up by technical education and hands-on experience, I am aimed at providing adequate and accurate English to Russian translations of highly specialized texts. As an engineer, I always pay great attention to the technical adequacy of a target text, including proper and consistent terminology and compliance with the Russian technical standards (GOST, etc). Having gained valuable knowledge of the best practices of filing applications with the Russian and Eurasian Patent Offices, I am geared up to provide quality translation of patent materials.

QUALITY ASSURANCE
A translation process I have strictly adhered to includes analyzing the source text, translating (exploiting CAT-tools), reviewing the electronic copy of the translation, and finally proofreading the hard (printed) copy of the translation, which is all done by me. If necessary, I can also engage a colleague translator who has over 20-year experience in the relevant subject fields to review my translations. Thus, the translation process I have applied features even tighter requirements than, for example, in EN 15038 standard. However, I am flexible enough to adjust the translation process to your particular needs.
