I am a Brazilian translator, with over 40 years’ experience in marketing and technical translation. During all my professional life, along with different jobs I have always been a free-lance translator, until 2017, when I decided to be a free-lance translator only.

For the technical matters, I have a solid background as Merchant Marine Engineer, technical education later consolidated by approx. 6 years of international travels, when my responsibilities included negotiation with international shipyards whenever the ship I was boarding has to be docked for maintenance and repairs.    

After leaving the Merchant Marine, for the companies I worked as an employee, my positions involved supervising and coordinating translator teams as well as translation and local production of technical documents, production of multi-media CBT–Computer Based Training programs etc.

I have also translated over a dozen of IT books, including, among many other, specialized subjects such as

-        Borland Pascal 7.0 For Windows  (820 Pgs.) for Berkeley Publishing Brazil

-        Foxpro 2.5 – Advanced Developer’s Handbook. (1024 Pgs.) for Berkeley Publishing Brazil.

For Management and Marketing fields, besides a degree in Business Administration, by the Augusto Mota  University in Brazil,  I have post graduation and specialization international courses, such as Marketing Managing in M.C.A.  Dallas Training Center  - USA; CKD Assembly Line by Mita Copiers – Japan (Tokyo, Osaka, Saitama, and Kyoto).

Currently, my work has been concentrated on translating mostly technical as well as marketing material related to imaging devices (Copiers, High Production Laser and Offset Printers) for the Digital Printers Industry.     

Therefore, due to my technical education and wide-range technical experience, I am perfectly capable of doing precise technical translations in engineering fields such as Naval, Oil&Gas, Industrial, Mechanical Electrical, and Electronics, especially IT, from English and Spanish to Brazilian Portuguese.
