I have graduated from Azerbaijan Polytechnic University as automation engineer for chemical industry. I started my career at a scientific research institute in Baku, where I got my PhD degree in chemistry. The same period I did English-Russian translations as a freelancer for Azerbaijan Chamber of Commerce and Industry, where I did translations of various documentation, patents, papers and articles from English into Russian and vice versa. After 19 years of this experience, I was involved in international business dealing with oil products, especially lubricants, automotive business and IT. During this period in partnership of American, British and German companies I managed joint projects, visited those countries for negotiations and presentations. For the last 12 years I have been in Kazakhstan to manage my own IT project. Recently I retired and have more time for my favorite activity, i.e. translation.
