NAATI-Certified Thai–English Translator  |  CEO & Co-Founder, AcudocX

I am a NAATI-certified Thai–English translator with over 20 years of experience in translation, localization, and cross-cultural communication. Alongside my translation practice, I am Co-Founder and CEO of AcudocX, a platform pioneering AI-powered certified translation solutions for the immigration, legal, and clinical sectors. This dual perspective — working translator and industry innovator — means your projects benefit from both hands-on linguistic expertise and a deep understanding of modern translation workflows.

Trusted by leading organisations

I have delivered certified and specialised translations for clients including Pfizer, Merck, Sanofi Pasteur, IQVIA, Amazon AWS, Microsoft, La Prairie, and Subaru. Landmark projects include the Kingsgate (Akara Mine) lawsuit against the Thai government (over 2 million words per year), the Pattaya Airport Second Runway EHIA, and prisoner transfers under the Australia–Thailand International Transfer of Prisoners Scheme.

Areas of specialisation

My primary focus is clinical trial translation and localization (ethics committee letters, study documentation), alongside legal, migration, and life-sciences work. I also bring deep subject expertise in international development, NGOs, refugees and migration, indigenous peoples' rights, mining and resource extraction, social impact assessments, land tenure, and environmental management. In addition to translation, I offer localization from US or UK English to Australian English.

Quality you can rely on

Every project is thoroughly reviewed and written in a style that matches contemporary discourse, so that an English-speaking reader will not realise the document is a translation. Accuracy is guaranteed — and, just as importantly, so is readability. As my services are in high demand, scheduling in advance is recommended for new clients.

I look forward to working with you.
