ABOUT ME:

I am one of the fastest translators in my language pair specializing in technical, IT, financial and legal translations. I translate and review over 2 million words per year, so by now my work experience is probably unmatched in my language pair and fields of specialization.

I offer good discounts for large projects (50,000 words or more).

Due to very high working speed I can usually handle such projects all by myself, ensuring high consistency of terminology and making the review process much easier.
