Expert English to Finnish Technical Translation
Leveraging native fluency, an MSc in Technology, and deep software engineering experience for precise, "engineer-to-engineer" communication.
Bridging Technology and Language
I'm Matti Peteri, a freelance translator specializing in English to Finnish technical content. My unique background combines native Finnish fluency with an MSc in Technology and years of international software engineering experience, including senior roles at Nokia.
Since 2012, I've focused on delivering high-quality technical translations where precision and deep subject matter understanding are critical. I don't just translate words; I accurately convey complex technical concepts, ensuring clarity for specialist audiences.
My experience as a Finnish Language Lead since 2019 for a major electronics distributor further underscores my commitment to linguistic quality, terminology consistency, and style guide adherence.
