What I'm looking for

I’m available to help enterprise clients resolve translation bottlenecks with precise English-to-Irish legal and technical translation, MTPE, and UI localization. I prioritize rigorous quality control, confidentiality, and accurate delivery to deadlines.

At Lionbridge Technologies, I translated and proofread legal contracts, non-disclosure agreements, and regulatory data protection guidelines from English into Irish. I also localized enterprise software interfaces while preserving character limits and layout integrity.

At RWS Group / SDL, I translated technical documentation and mobile app interfaces, and tested localized UI builds to catch truncation, placeholder, and grammar issues before deployment. I also worked on more than 500,000 words of technical product specifications and IT documentation.

For TransPerfect Translations, I delivered freelance translation, proofreading, and MTPE for legal proceedings and compliance documents, and localized IT and SaaS platforms into Irish. Across this work, I’ve used CAT tools including SDL Trados Studio, memoQ, Phrase, and XTM Cloud to support terminology consistency and quality assurance.
