I specialise in Technical Translation in Information Systems, Management, Video Editing and video subtitling

After studying business information technology in Paris V and Brighton universities, I started out as Business Analyst Developer in 1994.

After finishing my year 2000 project, I moved to France, where I spent 4 years in the purchasing department of a large PC manufacturer, working with buyers to manage data and produce purchasing indicators.

In 2004, I set out as a freelancer, initially in PC maintenance and then 9 years as a video technician. I started to take on translation work in 2012 and since 2018 have specialized in technical and audiovisual translation.

Translation Experience

I have undertaken diverse translation projects including for an industrial and defence contractor, in quality document management, railway construction management, road management, data protection, dam engineering, tourism, winemaking, horse breeders and carpet weavers.

I did transcription and subtitling for a France TV documentary, a conference presentation, a set of videos for a well-known writer and two projects as liaison interpreter in industrial environments.
