Who I am

Hi, I'm Andrei, a professional translator with nearly a decade of hands-on industry experience, an academic background in translation and a love for the craft. I work from English, Russian and Ukrainian into Russian and English. For large-scale commissions and personal passion projects, for last-minute squeezes and long-term commitments, for businesses, agencies and individual clients – I am here to help you do, not just make do.

What I do

Process & Practices

1. You send your documents in any format, along with an optional brief. I review your project, share a quote and we agree on payment and timeline.

2. I recreate the original layouts and get to work, prioritizing accuracy at every step of the process. I translate all official insignia, clarify culture-specific legal concepts, tighten phrasing, make informed tonal adjustments and finalize the draft.

3. You receive a certified translation, complete with a signed certificate of accuracy and ready for official use. I remain available for any revisions or follow-ups. You get your business sorted – smooth and hassle-free.

2,000+ documents translated for state institutions, agencies and private clients across the US, UK, EU, Ukraine and Russia. Fully USCIS and Home Office compliant. No rejections, delays or friction.

Translate. File. Carry on.

Technical Translation

If the source text is shrouded in jargon, obscure terminology and mysterious abbreviations that whisper only to the initiated, I decode it and distill the essence – while preserving the nuance that makes it tick. I translate manuals, specifications, assembly instructions, patents and patent applications, blueprints, schematics, installation and maintenance guides, theses, research papers, lab reports and other technical materials. I offer precision, attention to detail and an unsettling familiarity with what an elastomeric sealed double-row angular contact ball bearing module actually does.

Media Localization

Projects of any scope and complexity, on your terms. I localize websites, iGaming platforms, software, video games, articles, videos and all other forms of printed, digital and interactive media. I flex to match your process, adjusting to any workflow and translation environment to get your project where it needs to go – or drawing on my expertise and best professional practices to chart the course. Whether you're reframing narratives, taking your story across continents, managing an app localization pipeline or driving global conversions for a marketplace, I'll be happy to provide a tailored quote, a clear strategy and a timeline that fits your needs.

Take your content places

Marketing Translation

Need to strike the delicate balance of tone, cadence and punch to reach your audience abroad? With a keen nose for flavor, a dash of flair and just the right seasoning, I can make your pitch charmingly local and deliciously organic. I have translated native ads, brochures, banners, video ads, blogs, newsletters, listings, catalogs and a wide range of other promotional materials for 30+ marketing clients, from businesses to enterprising solos. In a voice that's uniquely you and unmistakably it, I'll get your product to fit in – and stand out.
