I've been translating since 2002, and I'd rather say that my skill is in Intermediate level, as I see that there are always more new skills to learn. I have been here on this platform since it was named "Elance". I was off from this platform for a quite long time due to some real life works, then this platform's name has turned into "Upwork", in which everything was reset, thus I need to start all over again. Born in a Javanese family as an Indonesian, I started my journey as a language learner by translating English songs during junior high school years, then attending English courses and competitions before deciding to choose Chinese as my major in university in which I also took the Latin, Spanish and Korean class provided, as well as Japanese language course on weekends. I am a registered translator with the Indonesian Translator Association (HPI). Other than working as a Mandarin construction site translator and interpreter which I do since 2017, previously I've been working for various companies with different roles, such as a marketer, coordinator, teacher, journalist, editor, writer, copywriter, surveyor, dubber, etc.

I help students, parents, and businesses with Mandarin learning, Chinese translation, transcription, proofreading, and educational content creation. I have experience teaching Mandarin for children and adults, creating HSK materials, worksheets, quizzes, subtitles, and presentation slides. I also use Canva, CapCut, and Microsoft Office to create clean and organized learning materials. I focus on clear communication, accurate work, and engaging learning experiences.
