Since Feb. 15, 2007 I mainly work for a Ukrainian software development company as a technical writer.

However, I can also take freelance RU-EN, EN-RU, UA-EN, EN-UA translations. In particular, I am interested in translations related to patents and various software manuals, especially with generous deadlines.

Besides, I can provide high-quality translations in the field of law and general engineering.

You can write me a message.
