I have done freelance and personal translations for about 10 years, specializing in the IT/hardware/software areas but also proficient in math, physics, general sciences and several other topics.

Currently working on localization projects. (Eng > Spa)

I am a Chilean software engineer, and I'm allowed to work in the US. I do best translating to Latin American spanish, or a more international one.

I'm always happy to accept pro bono work!

Also, for years, I've been a huge gamer. PC, consoles, handheld, arcade, you name it. If your project involves games in any way, I'd be happy to participate! I have 25+ years of gaming experience, and I'm quite knowledgeable of the lingo. Plus, it would be great that, for once, the spanish translations in games for Latin America is something different than the Spain spanish.
