About me

My name is Oana Clapa and I am a 42-year-old Romanian currently residing in Belgium; in my personal life, I am a happy mother of two and a very dedicated crocheter. In my professional life, I have dedicated the past 18 years in part to technical writing – software, end-client communications – and localisation/software translations.

So, here are a couple of words about what I know and what I can do:

I am an accomplished, outcome-driven technical writer with expertise in writing, editing and proof-reading documents (software manuals, help manuals) as well as ensuring terminological and phrasing consistency.

I have experience in writing and collaborating with technical teams to assist during the tendering process by implementing specific field knowledge.

I have long-term experience in translations and localisation for my language pairs (En/Fr/Ro).

I am a consummate communicator with exceptional interpersonal skills and ability to interface with clients, developers, and members of project teams to ensure project delivering on time and to exact client specifications.

I am proficient in writing, editing, and proofreading, MS Office, Teams, Jira, SharePoint, CAT Tools (SDL Trados, MemoQ).
