About

Professional summary

I am a seasoned technical coordinator and senior technical translator with over 20 years of experience specializing in the Oil & Gas industry. My expertise lies in English-Russian translation and interpretation, particularly for complex Japan-Russia joint venture projects. I am PMP-certified, which has enabled me to effectively coordinate multifaceted projects and communicate with diverse stakeholders.

Throughout my career, I have developed custom translation tools using Python, such as TMXBuilder and ExcelTabsMerger, to streamline workflows and improve accuracy. I have also worked on training and fine-tuning NLLB models for specialized translation tasks, enhancing the quality and efficiency of language processing.

My skills extend beyond translation to project coordination, where I manage bilingual communication flows, maintain terminology consistency, and ensure confidentiality of sensitive technical documentation. I have extensive experience interpreting in technical workshops, site visits, and meetings, facilitating clear and accurate communication between English, Russian, and Japanese speakers.

I am proficient with a variety of CAT tools including Trados, memoQ, and Memsource, and have hands-on experience with AutoCAD and Python automation. My background also includes logistics coordination and materials management in drilling operations, which has given me a comprehensive understanding of the operational side of the Oil & Gas sector.

I am passionate about bridging language and cultural gaps in technical environments and continuously improving translation processes through technology and best practices. I am committed to delivering high-quality, publish-ready translations and ensuring smooth project execution through effective coordination and communication.
