Bio
I am a polyglot polymath English, Spanish, French and Italian linguist, translator, interpreter, editor, linguistic validator, writer, licensed engineer (mechanical, but jack of all building related engineering fields), architectural designer, Classicist and esthetics specialist.

I attended three Ivy League schools: Princeton, Yale and Cornell. I also attended Ana G. Méndez University in Gurabo, Puerto Rico. In addition, I attended Building Beauty: Ecologic Design & Construction Process, Post-Graduate Diploma in Architecture in Sorrento, Campania, Italy.

I have worked as a freelance linguist since 1993, as a freelance architectural designer since 1990 and as a licensed (mechanical) engineer since 1997. I have over 17 years of full-time experience working as a linguist.

I translated pro-bono an essay on the Hispanic roots of the United States, https://heroesdecavite.es/informe-las-raices-hispanas-de-los-estados-unidos/. Enjoy!

I got a perfect score (800) in the Verbal section of the Graduate Record Examination (GRE, the test that most people who wants to do graduate studies in the US has to take). My combined Verbal and Math scores in various sittings for this test from 1898 to 2007 correlate with an estimated IQ of 145.

I was born and raised in Puerto Rico from ancient Puerto Rican stock.
