Specialties
I specialize in translation of patents and intellectual property documents in the general fields of electrical/mechanical/software/computer engineering, with a focus on translation of PCT patent applications for filing with the USPTO from Japanese multinationals in verticals including:
- Semiconductor devices and semiconductor fabrication technologies (microprocessors, power semiconductors, photovoltaics, photolithography, etching, doping, deposition)
- Display technologies (LCD, OLED, ELD, electrophoretic (e-paper))
- Optical devices and measuring instruments (lasers, cameras, microscopes, interferometers, particle size analyzers, spectrometers)
- General electronics (printers, mobile/smart/IoT devices, telecommunications)
- Automotive applications (secondary batteries, fuel cells)
I also have extensive experience in localization of software and software development documentation, including:
- Localization of Nintendo 3DS/Wii U/Switch SDK libraries and documentation, which includes graphics, animation, sound, network communication, social networking, and resource management middleware for use in video game application development
- Localization of online software management/application registration tools for software developers
Background
I am a technical Japanese-English translator with a strong professional background in multidisciplinary engineering and intellectual property. I partner primarily with intellectual property-focused law firms in the US and Japan to provide world-class patent translations that adhere to strict standards of completeness, accuracy, and consistency while reading as if originally authored in English. All confidential materials are always treated with the utmost regard for sensitivity, and all work is always delivered on or ahead of schedule and within budget – I take great pride in my track record of 4.1 million words, 171 patent application translations, and 100% rate of repeat business to date.
