CATTI Level II Certified Translator (EN⇄ZH) | Business Development Specialist | Energy Storage & Cross-Border Commercial Strategy
I help companies win business across the China–ASEAN corridor — in both languages, at certified professional level.
My credentials are an unusual trio: CATTI Level II Translation certification (China's state-administered professional benchmark), a Master's in Translation and Interpreting from Nanyang Technological University in Singapore, and a B.Eng in Electrical & Electronic Engineering from National University of Singapore. Layered on top is several years leading overseas business development for a Chinese battery energy storage (BESS) manufacturer across the Southeast Asia - Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore and Thailand — working the full commercial cycle from market entry research and regulatory navigation through to technical proposals, financial models and partner negotiations.
What I can do for you:
1️⃣ Translation & interpretation (EN⇄ZH) — technical, commercial and legal documents in energy, engineering and trade. With a simultaneous interpretation background and an engineer's grasp of the subject matter, I translate meaning and intent, not just words — because I've sat on both sides of the negotiating table.
2️⃣ Language services — bilingual voice-over and narration (native proficiency in Mandarin; polished British English), subtitling and localisation for corporate, training and marketing content, English and Chinese language teaching, and specialist transcription of technical or bilingual material, including EN⇄ZH meeting recordings.
3️⃣ Market research & go-to-market strategy — regulatory mapping, certification pathways, competitor analysis and partner due diligence across Southeast Asian energy markets.
4️⃣ Commercial documents — proposals, quotations, financial models and pitch materials that read naturally to both Western and Chinese counterparties.
If your project sits at the intersection of language, engineering and commerce — particularly in energy or China–ASEAN trade — I'm likely one of very few freelancers who can handle all three without a middleman.

I'm proficient in English and Chinese translation & writing , with over 10 years of working experience in related fields. My areas of expertise cover a wide range: literature, history, economics, sociology, medicine, etc. Enclosed below (in the module Portfolio) are some of my translation works over the past decade, and you can check the files and videos for details.
As a book translator, I worked for a few publishing houses such as Jiangsu Phoenix Literature and Art Publishing House, Sichuan Literature and Art Publishing House, China Science and Technology Press, and my translation works include world-famous masterpieces like Steppenwolf, Robinson Crusoe, Everything I Know About Love, The Republic, The Global Seven Years War 1754–1763, and Bookhouse Fairy Tales, with the total word count exceeding 6 million words. With my expertise in translation, writing and edition, over 10 masterpieces were successfully published and captivated a wide readership.
I'm most proud of my work as the translator of the documentary translation project for the CCTV-9 (CCTV, short for China Central Television, is the biggest and most well-known national television station in China), and it can be viewed in the video enclosed as below. And it worked out very well with my professional expertise in translation and writing, since I am a writer and magazine editor for over 10 years.
Over the past 15 years, I've translated a large number of texts covering fields such as AI, Cloud Computing, Audit Reports, Biomedical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Legal Contracts, Literature, News, with the total word count exceeding 8 million words/characters, which highly enriched experience and further strengthened my professional skills in these fields. As a professional translator and writer, I worked with quite a lot of publishing houses, TV stations (including national TV station and well-known international TV stations), translation agencies, and institutions and corporations.
I also worked as a translator of statements or speeches for International Forums & Summits: Speeches at China Academic Forum sponsored by Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, Speeches at China Social Science Forum sponsored by Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, Speeches at China International Poetry Forum; Chinese Academy of Social Sciences keynote speeches, Hujiang Public Diplomacy Forum, Brics Parliamentary Forum, Speeches at the International Forum on Food Safety, Speeches at the UNESCO (Shanghai), the Xiangshan Forums and Shanghai Cooperation Organization Summits.
In 2022-2023, as a member of subtitle translation group, I worked for the Australian TV station SBS for its English news broadcasting programs. It's a teamwork, which required not only the professional skills of individual members, but also close and efficient cooperation among the team members. During this program, our team worked very well with our professional expertise, which won us the recognition of the TV station, as well as a wonderful memory.
So you have every reason to trust a man with so professional skills and expertise and so rich experience in translation and writing.
