About me

Freelance technical author, translator and interpreter since 2004

My name is Samuel Virto Llaguno, originally from Bilbao (Spain). I have been living in Germany since 1996 and have perfect knowledge of German, English and, of course, Spanish as my mother tongue. Together with my degree in Telecommunications Engineering, this has given me extensive professional experience as a technical author, translator and interpreter for various companies in Spain, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, Denmark, Belgium and Romania.
