CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

“Tom acted as a technical Japanese simultaneous interpreter when, while I was working at an optoelectronics company, we purchased a highly complex robotics from Japan. Tom translated both during set-up, and during training. We were very lucky to find him. His combination of enginering skill and extremely high fluency in Japanese was perfect.”

“Tomoya assisted me during installation and training on a Japanese manufactured high precision flip-chip die bonding machine. The technician carrying out the installation and training spoke only Japanese and the subject matter was highly technical. Tomoya not only demonstrated a thorough understanding of the Japanese language but also proved that he was a very competent engineer. Due to his assistance the machine installation and training took place smoothly. I would highly recommend Tomoya both for his interpretative and technical skills.”
