You don’t want to risk your customer’s satisfaction and your sales. You need a translator capable of understanding and clearly conveying the cutting-edge technology of your products.
That’s me, Pedro Serra.
Proper Tech Training
I’m always interested in the “how” and “why”. I love tech and health and these topics steered my solid formal training:
BSc in Biomedical Sciences
Master’s (MEng) in Electrical Engineering
Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering
I’m curious by nature and I believe in the changing power of technology, provided its use is accompanied by clear and accurate information. That is my mission: to provide Portuguese translations with a natural reading tone and reliable information.

In my spare time, I’m also an Acrobatic Gymnastics coach: I teach children with 6+ years and their smiles prove that my messages get through. As the president of the club, with 7 coaches under my guidance, my time management skills are also honed.
As a writer in my native language, this is how I would describe my style
I aim to have my texts with a Flesch–Kincaid score below 65 to ensure their readability and natural tone. When the texts are more technical I prioritize their scientific accuracy.
