Bio

To whom it
may concern,

 

My name is
Ioannis Lachanis and I am a native Greek linguist living in Greece. I have been
providing my services on a full-time, self-employed basis since 2007. My main
areas of expertise is the technical field, covering the entire spectrum from
IT, electronics and telecommunication, to automotive, energy, mechanical and
medical devices.

Taking
advantage of my academic years (BSc in Electronics, MSc in IT) and early
professional career (IT specialist/consultant), and a deep love for languages,
I am proud to say that I have managed to create a vast network of partnerships
worldwide, having worked with more than 100 agencies, and having built several
long standing work relations.

The
languages I speak are Greek (native), English (native level), French (advanced
level) and German (basic level), but my work focuses on English to Greek and
French to Greek.

As a
professional linguist I am offering services that involve translation, editing,
proofreading, MTPE, transcriptions, transcreation, subtitling, SEO, project
management, and more.

I have
provided work for some of the biggest global companies in various industries,
having handled more than 10M words through translation, proofreading, MTPE, SEO
and other linguistic tasks. Example: Ford, Volvo, Audi, Chevrolet, Microsoft,
Apple, HP, Epson, DJI, Haas, Samsung, Siemens, OPPO, Vivo, Etihad, Qatar,
Austrian Airlines, Lufthansa, Swiss Airlines, Emirates, Adidas, Nike, Pfizer,
Novartis, IQVIA and more.

I value a
highly professional work ethic, implementing strong professional standards, and
I offer secured, quality deliveries, and competitive rates. I am naturally self-driven,
resourceful, and take pride in all my collaborations.

I am an
avid user of CAT tools, computers, and search engines, quick to learn and adapt
to new systems and changes. I am ambitious and always search for new ways to
grow as a professional, and as a person.

Thank you
for checking out my profile and please leave me a message if you want more
details on the services I offer.
