About me...

I work with Trados Studio 2022

I live in Perugia, Umbria, Italy. I graduated from the University of Rome with a degree in Electronic Engineering. Most of my previous experience is as a regular contributor to several Italian technical magazines specialized in Audio/MIDI ("MIDI Songs", "Cubase Magazine", "CM2", "Now Making Music"). My published articles include tutorials about music software, product tests, keyboard and software reviews. I was a member of the Italian Journalists Association - Umbria ("Ordine dei giornalisti dell'Umbria - Albo dei pubblicisti") from 2007 to 2017.

I had the chance to get some hands-on experience of computer programming, developing Windows desktop applications with Borland Delphi 7 Pro and Microsoft Visual C# 2005/2008 (and now Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition and Lazarus Free Pascal). I also created and updated dynamic websites using Perl or PHP + MySQL and I have developed a plug-in for SDL TRADOS STUDIO 2015/2017: Simple Image Viewer, a simple Image Viewer that allows the user to open and display an image file (PNG, JPG, GIF, BMP, TIFF) inside Trados Studio, for reference purposes. Link to SDL AppStore: Simple Image Viewer.

As a translator, I mostly specialize in software translations (such as user manuals, graphical user interfaces and help files) and manuals of electronic equipment and musical instruments. I am registered for Value Added Tax and I have a VAT registration number (VAT code). My personal interests include playing the piano and some MIDI keyboards (Yamaha Tyros 4, PSR-670), drawing and reading.
