Career / Experience

Graduated from a Soviet university in French and English linguistics (5 years).
3 years of in-house translation & interpreting for an importer of French products.
Several years in personal correspondence translation.
Several years of prevalent occupation with PC hardware handling, system administration & web-design.
Last 6 years of technical support for software by e-mail in English and sometimes French on daily basis (including some manuals and menu translations).
At the same time, freelance translation with local and Moscow agencies (mostly technical and business, no strict specialisation but I did indicate my preferred areas in the profile).

Large hobby experience in subititling video material, even some voice-over translation (no HQ microphone though but I can compile back even a multichannel audio stream with a voice-over translation just the way it was in the original, even do some video-edition and conversion if required).

Creative writing and poetry in all my languages is something I do since university, so relevant translations are a welcome challenge.

My special touch in work is a correct formatting of documents, output exactly as input for almost any windows file format with text, PDF extracting and editing, web-pages translations including the code (JavaScript, PHP & other programming languages with text portions).
