Bio
During the first half of my professional life, I worked as a chemical engineer in R & D in the petro-chemical industry, developing laboratory, pilot and industrial scale technologies, authoring technical reports, patents and scientific papers.

Then, I decided to make a living from my life-long hobby: foreign languages. And ever since, I have been translating from English & French into Romanian as a freelancer.

Based on my engineer`s background, I translated operation, installation, maintenance and repair manuals for GENERAL MOTORS EUROPE, VERMEER (drilling rigs and earth moving machines), CATERPILLAR (tractors), DAIKIN (air conditioning equipment), BRIDGESTONE (retreading equipment), ATLAS COPCO (Drilling Rigs), GRUNDFOS (pumps), etc.

In parallel, I got involved successfully in the field of advertising and marketing (catalogues, magazines, brochures, product texts, subtitles, web sites), for LEGO, BANG & OLUFSEN, BoConcept, ANSELL (global leader in protection solutions), etc.
