Filipe has been translating from English to Portuguese since his late teenage years. He's self-taught, and is proud of that fact. He has, through the internet and personally, multiple English-speaking friends. On his university course, many other students come to him for aid in more complex English texts or full translations of work material.

Filipe has been translating from English to Portuguese since his late teenage years. He's self-taught, and is proud of that fact. He has, through the internet and personally, multiple English-speaking friends from both the US, Canada and UK, and also several others with English as second language. On his university course, many other students come to him for aid in more complex English texts or full translations of work material.

Filipe has translated gaming interviews for an Orkut community, half a decade ago. He worked on interviews given by Diablo 3's lead developer Jay Wilson. Those interviews usually were lengthy and went into very technical gaming terms and expressions, that Filipe worked into Portuguese with ease.

Filipe has had quite some starting experience with academic articles. Two of them pharmaceutical, four about psychology and two about literature. He executed those flawlessly and didn't miss deadlines.

Filipe, when he was 17, joined forces with a friend over the now-defunct Orkut to translate the book "Demonsbane", a tale following characters based in Blizzard's game Diablo. The project took about a month of communication and cooperation, and the end result was very satisfying for both.

One of Filipe's experiences with company-issued work was to translate an air conditioner manual, that span several pages. Such manual was riddled with technical jargon, and made Filipe proud of himself when it was done.
