I am a translator and a technical writer. I have published several book translations (Margaret Atwood's "The Year of the Flood", to name just one) into Russian. I also do technical translations (IT-related, mostly, as I have been in software development for 15 years), provide SR&ED consulting (in cooperation with SRED Unlimited) and write technical documentation. I have a degree in Applied Mathematics and Computer Science from Moscow State University, an MCAD certification, and several certificates: one in Technical Writing from YorkU and two from U of T SCS (in Financial Management and in Enterprise Risk Management). I am currently working on the Russian translation of "Someone comes to town..." by Cory Doctorow (under Creative Commons license) and on "The Cornish Trilogy" by Robertson Davies, a Canadian classic. *** My page on proz.com: English - Russian Translator *** My profile on LinkedIn *** My business websites: *** Translation Services (English - Russian) *** SR&ED Consulting *** My LJ (in Russian) *** My Twitter (personal): @TaniaSam *** My Twitter (business): @SRED4you http://www.sred4you.com
