Full-time Translator

Own company
In 2005, I decided to turn into translation full time and have not looked back ever since. Relying on my experience and contacts from the work for PC World, I initially focused on translation in the IT niche. To this day, I provide services to a number of companies in this field, including Intel, HP, Epson, Canon, Zyxel, Motorola, Google and many others. However, over time I have expanded my area of expertise into several other fields, including finance and economy, corporate issues or aviation. I have been cooperating with many international consultancy companies, as well as law offices, etc.
