Available to hire
Since 2008, I have worked extensively as a professional translator, specializing in English-Indonesian and vice versa. Over the years, I have developed strong expertise across a wide range of fields, including Ad-Words and banner translations tailored for online campaigns, financial documents, forex and cryptocurrency content, as well as legal texts requiring precision and accuracy.
I have also handled marketing materials, consumer content, and media-related translations that demand a creative yet culturally relevant approach. My portfolio includes mobile application localization, patent translations requiring technical understanding, resumes crafted for international job seekers, and various software and IT-related documents. Additionally, I have translated training materials and employee handbooks, ensuring clarity and consistency in corporate communication. This diverse experience has equipped me with a deep understanding of terminology, tone, and the unique needs of each industry.
