⭐️ Upwork Top Rated👑Freelancer with 100% JSS 🕒 9,560+ hours of work 💼 14+ years of overall experience ✔️ 6+ years as a Translator/Transcriber/Proofreader/VO Artist 🌐 Multilingual ( English ↔️ Kannada, Hindi, and Marathi ) 🎓 Bachelor of Engineering in Information Science 🚀 50+ jobs completed with 5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Ratings Hello Everyone!!! I’m Vijay, and I want to share a little bit about my journey and the incredible experiences I've had along the way. Here's what some of my clients have to say: "Vijay Kumar did an excellent job with the Kannada voice acting work. He delivered high-quality recordings, followed the instructions carefully, and brought a clear, natural delivery to the scripts. He was reliable, professional, and easy to work with throughout the project. I really appreciated his attention to detail and consistency, and I would be happy to work with him again. Highly recommended!" "Vijay was great to work with! He was very professional and really committed to delivering the best results. He took the time to fully understand the project requirements and stayed consistent and communicative throughout, even though the process took a bit longer. He was always open to feedback and made sure everything was implemented just right. Overall, a great collaborator. I’d definitely recommend working with him." "Vijay was exceptional to work with. He provided one of the most detailed, insightful reviews of CleanCut VO, testing multiple pacing styles and offering precise technical feedback on performance, loudness, and export quality. His input directly helped refine the tool’s behavior across different voice types. Extremely professional, articulate, and collaborative — highly recommended." So, where did this all start? Back in 2010, I earned my Bachelor of Engineering degree in Information Science from Visvesvaraya Technological University. That was the foundation that launched my career in the tech world. Soon after, I joined Wipro Technologies as an Application Support Engineer, diving into the heart of IT Support. I specialized in Application Support, Incident, and Problem Management, quickly gaining a reputation for resolving complex issues and providing stellar customer service. By 2012, I was trusted with advanced L2 & L3 roles, working closely with development teams to enhance client satisfaction. Fast forward to 2015, I took a significant step forward, transitioning to a Leadership role as an Associate Consultant at Wipro Technologies. Leading a team of over 30 professionals, I managed critical IT Operations, focusing on Service Delivery, Project Management, and Operational Efficiency. One of my biggest achievements was leading the implementation of Zoho Desk, which significantly improved our ticketing system's efficiency. This experience solidified my skills in Business Analysis, Project Management, and Application Support, equipping me with the ability to drive impactful solutions. By 2022, I was ready for a new challenge—and that’s when I ventured into the world of freelancing. My motivation? The desire for flexibility and a variety of new opportunities. Today, I specialize in Data Analysis, Application Support, Digital Project Management, Virtual Assistance, and Customer Support. My freelance projects have been as diverse as they come—from handling massive Data Collection efforts involving 1.9 million entries to providing Transcription, Translation, and Proofreading services. I even expanded my horizons with Audio & Voice Recording projects that required a native Indian English accent! Plus, I’ve helped businesses streamline their operations with effective Business Process Mapping. With over a decade of experience in this field, I bring a unique blend of technical expertise and freelancing agility. My in-depth knowledge of Ticketing Platforms, Customer Service Protocols, and Digital Project Management enables me to offer tailored solutions that drive operational success and elevate Service Delivery. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here are a few more words from my clients: "It was a pleasure working with Vijay. His work was of a high quality, with great attention to detail, and he delivered on time." "It's been such a pleasure working with Vijay. He's detail-oriented, communicates clearly, and consistently delivers high-quality results. Highly recommended." "Excellent work! The task was completed perfectly and delivered on time." "Hello, Vijay! Thank you for the project, you did a great job on it and followed the instructions. We appreciate the effort you put into it." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I’m always eager to connect with fellow tech enthusiasts, problem-solvers, and professionals who share my passion for creating impactful solutions. Let’s work together to drive business success and make a real difference!
