What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to utilize my translation skills while providing a supportive work environment that values creativity and collaboration.

My name is Saibal Banerjee, and I have been passionately working as a freelance translator since 2019. With a strong background in medical transcription spanning over 12 years, I transitioned to full-time translation to pursue my passion for languages. My primary language pairs are English-Bengali and English-Hindi, and I pride myself on delivering high-quality translations that maintain the essence of the original content.

In addition to translation, I have expanded my skill set to include subtitling and transcreation, allowing me to cater to a broader range of client needs. I am proficient in using various CAT tools, including Memsource and Wordfast, which enhance my efficiency and accuracy. My diverse knowledge across multiple domains, such as psychology, science, and technology, enables me to tackle a variety of projects with confidence.
