More than 25-year experience in Information Technology

Please allow me to introduce myself: I am not the usual 'one-size-fits-all' translator, as I work *exclusively* in my specialization fields: Information Technology, Computers, Hardware, Software, Networking, Consumer Electronics, Multimedia, Telecommunications, Mobile devices, Audio/Video/Photo, etc. - from English into Italian (my mother tongue).



So, if you do not operate in this fields or with my language pair, please disregard my message.



Otherwise you might want to give a look at my CV below. I have built 24 years of experience in this kind of translation and - thanks to quality, speed and affordability of my services - have been able to win as direct clients all the major Italian Computer Publishing Houses, such as:



Mondadori Informatica (PC Professionale ), VNU Business Publications Italia (PC Magazine, Network News Italia, Computer Reseller News, Computer Idea), Duke Italia (Windows & .Net Magazine, Linux Journal, Internet World), Edizioni Master (Computer Bild Italia, AudioVideoFoto Bild Italia), PlayPress Publishing (Chip Magazine, Vista Magazine)



Other main clients are Dell Computer, Nokia, Mitsubishi Electronics, Genius, BenQ.



My background in engineering and as a technical journalist, coupled with so many years in translation, can make a real difference. Last but not least, I can use Trados and my rates are very competitive!

Please note that I don't offer proofreading/editing services, but top quality translation exclusively.



Thank you for giving me your time. I am looking forward to starting a new cooperation with your company.



Best regards,
