Welcome to my profile! I am a sworn English-Polish translator & interpreter with 10 years of professional experience. My motto "Certified to deliver high-quality work" is not an empty slogan - if you're looking for professional, reasonably-priced, flawless English-Polish and Polish-English translations, both certified and regular ones, you've come to the right place. Translation is not only the way I make my living - this is also the way I make myself and other people happy. My numerous satisfied customers are ready to confirm this with their testimonials, available on request.

I've been working from day one as a Language Lead (via Acclaro translation agency) on full localization of the Netflix service into Polish, collaborating with a team of 20+ translators and editors and liaising with the Client on a daily basis, acting as the main point of contact on all localization matters (both on-site and off-site). I've worked in many roles on this project: as a translator, copy editor, proofreader and project manager. My work has been evaluated many times and found to be top-notch. The project concluded with a highly successful launch on the Polish market in September 2016.

- Ownership of all matters related to linguistic side of the localization of Netflix service into Polish
