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 and spacecraft instrumentation (2 years).
I have also conducted research in Linguistics, particularly in Second-Language Acquisition and Phonetics, while working on my Linguistics degree.
