I did first professional translation during my college
days at the Russian State University for Humanitarian where I
got PhD in Theoretical and Applied Linguistics. After that I worked
two jobs as a researcher at the All-Russian Institute of Scientific and
Technological Information speclializing in corpus linguistics and
as a project manager at a localization company. The latter gave me invaluable
experience in the trade which helped me start my own career as an independent
translator.

Since 2006 I have been working as a
freelance translator/editor specializing in IT, Automotive, Marketing, Business
Communications, PR, Advertising, Legal, Finance, Electrical Engineering (over
12 mln words translated/edited). My daily translation output is 3,500-4,000 words.
For urgent tasks I can work weekends and holidays.
