Bio

Translation is not a commodity, and I believe it to be more of an art, where there are no two men, who perform the craft of translation identically; each translator utilizes skills of his own, which are developed through education and practice. While many clients try to save on translation jobs, they forget that poorly performed translation may lead to certain unfavorable effects ranging from misunderstanding by the target audience to legal issues and financial constraints.

I am a translator working in English, Turkmen and Russian languages, graduated from two universities majoring in translation and linguistics. I am working as a translator since 2008, first as a freelancer, then in-house for some large international companies. As of today I have translated several million words and tens of thousands of pages in fields varying from upstream oil and gas to product labels. What makes me stand out from other translators is a specific university degree as well as vast and unmatched experience in Turkmen & English translation.

Education:


- Graduated US high school in top 10% of the class.

- Bachelor’s Degree equivalent from a university in Turkmenistan, Translation and interpreting in English & Turkmen languages.

- Master’s Degree in linguistics from a university in Russia, English & Russian languages.


Underwent training in:

- Aerospace, aviation and avionics,

- Petroleum engineering,

- IFRS, taxation, accounting and corporate finance.
