Hello,
I am very pleased to join in Proz.com as a new translator!
I hope my ability to translate Japanese, English and Korean language interchangeably can help someone in need of 'good' translation.
My goal is to present a deliberated translation which values how culture and context can affect the conveyed meaning of a message. (This is very crucial part of translating texts from a different background)
Plus, since I've been working in App & Web environment, I reckon I am good at making a message in a limited space.
Followings are the simplified history of myself!
