01 / Selected work

The work, in both languages.

Read selected source-and-translation excerpts. Each sample includes its language direction and a clear description of my role.

Professional document samples come from assignments that underwent normal project review. Selected excerpts were redacted and subsequently edited for portfolio presentation; individual PDFs describe those edits. The speech sample is independent practice, not a client assignment; audio alignment and timestamps have not been verified.
