Bio

I have a BS in electrical engineering and worked for 35 years in IT (mainframe computers, computer networks, network management and information security) and IP-based telecommunications networks and services (core, transport/backhaul and last mile).

Always had to read lots of english-written technical literature (and many non-technical stuff too). Now that I'm retired I've decided to try my hand on the translation business.

My chief interests are in ICT, science and technology in general, but I feel comfortable dealing with any engineering, math or physics texts.

Can I tacle other subjects? Well, I'd say most of them, But I'll have to think first before accepting any of those tasks.

Keywords: ICT, IT, computer technology, computer networks, telecom networks, telecom services, engineering, math, physics, technical issues
