A brief introduction

I am Michel de Goey. I operate under the business name Montes. I translate complex content texts from German and English into Dutch. Dutch is my native language. I translate into Dutch for both geographical areas: the Netherlands and Belgium. My English and German are both at a near-native level.

In 1983 I completed my master studies in social sciences at the Radboud University in Nijmegen. After this, I travelled the world representing my own high-end audio equipment company. During my travels I learned a lot about the business culture and language in North America and various Asian and European countries.

Next, I became a freelance IT professional and programmer, which I did for about ten years. As a translator I currently work on various types of text, mainly in the following fields: automotive, audio and video, software (use and development), complex heavy equipment, social sciences (e.g. psychology and sociology), medicine, pharmaceuticals and tourism.

Please refer to my CV for further information on my knowledge, skills and experience.
