I am a versatile linguist with a work history spanning 15 years, covering both written and spoken media. I’ve worked as a translator, reviewer, language lead, and consultant, as well as an interpreter, serving a diverse range of clients from public, private and non-profit sectors around the world. Academic credentials, progressive training, and work with integrity have turned me into a trustworthy professional with an understanding of your linguistic and operational needs.

Meticulous in the standards of service provided, I like to walk the extra mile in preparation to ensure the smooth and accurate delivery of your content. Years of experience living and working internationally have developed my capacity for accommodating a broad range of cultural settings and diverse expectations. My professional history across the many domains of Indonesian population and culture contribute toward a seamless delivery for native audiences.

Language Pairs — Indonesian, English, Javanese ¶

Indonesian ⇄ English ⇄ Indonesian
Javanese ⇄ English ⇄ Javanese

While I typically work with the Indonesian ⇄ English language pair for translation and interpreting assignments, language services in Javanese are also available, often in demand for field work and materials aimed for Javanese-speaking audiences.

Field of Operations — Indonesia, ASEAN, Global ¶

Based at the scenic hills west of D.I. Yogyakarta at the heart of Java, I have frequent work assignments in major cities across the island of Java, such as Jakarta, Bandung, Semarang, Solo and Surabaya. I'm also available for assignments on other islands, with Bali a common destination, including Kalimantan and Sulawesi, and as far as Papua in the east.

International interpreting assignments have brought me to a number of ASEAN countries, Malaysia and Singapore as the neighboring countries, along with Australia, with longer assignments in the U.S. spanning from Washington D.C. to New Mexico. RSI and other remote work is naturally possible on a global scope over a reliable internet connection.

CAT Tools and Interpreting Platforms ¶

Technology is an inherent part of today's language service industry. CAT tools or computer-assisted translation applications help ensure the consistency and integrity of a translation, provide suggestions based on existing content and reference materials, and reduce repetitive work. Interpreting platforms are audio/video communication services with features that facilitate the delivery of your content in multiple languages. These are some of the programs and platforms I've worked with:
