I have extensive experience translating academic, legal, financial, and general documents. Past projects have included company reports, contracts, product specifications, manuals, academic papers, and online courseware.

I have written academic papers in Japanese and English on translation theory. I also have also completed a book on the philosophy of translation.

I am consciously attuned to the inherent problems and traditional techniques involved in the majestic art of translation.

Here is a list of my published translations:
