About Carlos
Hello and welcome to my profile!
I am a native Spanish speaker and ATA-certified English into Spanish translator. Fluent in English (C2), I have specialized in translation, transcription, subtitling, and proofreading since 2012.
🎓 Education & Expertise I hold a B.A. in Languages and Sociocultural Studies from the Universidad de los Andes (ranked top 5 in LatAm) and a Master’s in Translation and New Technologies from ISTRAD (Spain). I am currently further specializing with a second Master's in Editorial Translation at VIU (Spain).
🎨 The Design Advantage (DTP) I offer more than just words. I am also a graphic designer, which means I have the technical skills to maintain the exact layout of your original documents for both web and print media. While standard translation often breaks formatting, I ensure the visual integrity of your project remains perfect.
🤝 My Commitment I am a dedicated professional, not an agency. I do not outsource. When you work with me, you are guaranteed direct communication, strict confidentiality, and my personal quality assurance. I only accept missions that I know I can deliver to the highest standard.
