CAD + China Consulting + Sourcing Expert + ZOOM,MS Teams, Webex EXPERT

Recently expanding into AutoCAD services. Currently assisting with a well established custom, high end luxury cabinetry/carpentry contractor in Nantucket that caters to the rich and famous. Convert PDF to DWG and DXF. Edit Autocad files with changes given by screenrecord and audio. Turn around typically 24hrs. Also providing online E-learning and virtual conferencing hosting/ technical producing services regularly through ZOOM, Microsoft Teams, Adobe connect (including sessions using rphone and ZipDX for simultanious translation), Bluejeans and Webex etc. End-user clients include Johnson and Johnson, Mars, GSK, ING, Cisco, Dell and Oracle as well as other global companies. I am responsible for about 300 hours per month of online technical producing and moderating between the various companies. I lead a team of about 20 Producers worldwide covering every time zone and every major language. We can be your one stop shop for any technical producing needs you have large or small. Zoom support includes both webinars and meetings support. Initial webinar or meeting scheduling and setup. Help with polls, breakout rooms, dry runs etc. Everything you need to ensure a smooth and successful webinar or Zoom meeting. Attendees of 10,000 is not a problem. It's worth noting that I have a Zoom account that can handle up to 5000 attendees. If you are planning a large event and don't have this add on it will cost you $1000 per year. Not worth it if you are only having occasional large meetings/webinars, in which case I can save you money by using my account. I am a Consultant with 12+ years in China providing translation, pre mid and post production inspection, mediation, factory audits, sourcing and sample request services for companies locally and abroad including Amazon FBA sellers. My Chinese company is based in Jinjiang, Quanzhou, Fujian province which is near Xiamen and Fuzhou. This area is famous for shoes, tiles, marble, quartz and textiles (particularly sports wear). However I tend to travel around a lot and may not be in China when you contact me but my associates are. I regularly do factory visits, inspections, on-site translation and consulting for business meetings and negotiations in Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Wenzhou, Jinhua, Wuyi, Yiwu and Hangzhou just to name a few. I provide a very good solution to bridging not only the communication gap but also the cultural gap between east and west. Most problems do not arise because of the inability to communicate (most factories have employees with adequate enough English to do the basic sales end of things) but from the inability to understand one anothers mindset and thinking (ie culture). I have learned Mandarin to a very high level that earns respect from the personnel in the factories. I also understand the business culture and know how to help westerners navigate through the tricky and murky waters of doing business in China. In other words, I can put out fires for you and also prevent them from happening in the first place. If you are considering hiring me for any translation projects then it is good to note that ALL translation projects are done together with my bi-lingual native Chinese business associate. Therefore, you can be rest assured that the result will be very high quality whether it be Chinese to English or English to Chinese. We are basically a one-stop shop when it comes to translation projects. No need for a proofread after but of course you will probably do that anyways just to be sure we did not use google translate lol. I do not think any translation project can be completed to a high standard with only one person, regardless of their language ability. There will always be some deeper meanings or nuances missed when only one person works on a project. However, we are definitely only suitable for the higher budget projects. If budget is a concern, then we probably are not your ideal candidate. If you need high quality and fast turn around then you definitely want to contact us.
