Highly specialized in Engineering, especially Mechanics, Electrics, Automation, Civil, Railway, Metallurgy, Mining, Shipping, Oil & Gas and Power & Energy - with demonstrated on-site experience;
Graduated in law - a licensed Lawyer;
Interpreter with experience in industrial site visits, audits and conferences;
As I worked as an in-house translator and interpreter in project sites and industrial plants, I have deep knowledge on technical terminology and jargon, since I witnessed the installation of equipment, machinery, boilers, turbines, steel structure, civil works and electrical and instrumentation equipment. I am today one of the most sought-after Engineering translators in Brazil due to my professionalism, high-quality translations, and the fact that I have never returned a job behind schedule.
