---I have a degree in Translation & Interpretation from Universidade Autónoma de Lisboa with specialization in English.
My main areas of specialization are:
§ Telecommunications
§ Information Technologies (IT)
§ Software localization
§ Mechanical engineering
§ Game localization
Additional fields of work include: tourism, MSDS, marketing, chemistry, medical devices, pharmaceutics and civil engineering.
I am a very diligent translator. I can work weekends and even holidays if a project is urgent (although fees tend to be a bit higher).
I have a dedicated high speed Internet connection and some of the most powerful tools capable of handling large volume projects such as Trados 2007, Trados 2009 and Trados 2011.
I guarantee the highest quality since I proofread all my translations cross-referencing terminology sources using an extensive library of dictionaries and technical sources.
My CV is attached to this message. Please note that it does not contain EVERY agency I worked with for the past 18 years but it is a representative sample and covers all my major and minor areas of specialization.
Feel free to contact me with any questions you might have. I will answer any questions and I will even do a small test, if necessary. I can provide references from previous agencies.I am looking forward to hearing from you. Even if you are not interested on my proposal, please let me know so I can remove you from my list.
