about me
I’m a Turkish native speaker and I have a bachelor’s degree in mining engineering and a master’s degree in mineral processing. I’ve been a freelance translator for more than 18 years. I specialize in technical and medical documents, but I am also comfortable with most general documents, marketing materials, and questionnaires. I’m an expert user of Trados and MemoQ Computer-Assisted Translation (CAT) tools and I also make use of quality assurance programs XBench and QA Distiller to ensure higher translation quality. I’ve been a member of Proz.com, a directory where translators, companies, and agencies collaborate on all sorts of projects. I also invite you to visit my profile page to read the reviews my clients have written about me.

He replied to e-mails promptly despite the time differences, which is a key point in our work where tight deadlines are to be met.
