About

From Translation to Development

I’m Luke Spear, originally a French-to-English technical translator with over a decade of experience helping companies communicate across language barriers.

Over the years, my fascination with technology and automation has led me down an interesting path - from translating technical documentation to building the tools that create it.

Professional Background

Translation & Localization (2005-present)

• Specialized in technical, legal, and financial translations
• Worked with startups to Fortune 500 companies
• Author of “The Translation Sales Handbook”

Technology & Development (2015-present)

• Personal finance automation systems
• Trading algorithms and market analysis
• Web development and technical writing
• Linux systems administration

Current Focus

These days I split my time between:

• Translation Services: Still helping businesses communicate effectively across languages
• Technical Writing: Creating clear, actionable documentation
• Development Projects: Building tools for productivity and financial automation
• Consulting: Helping businesses optimize their technical workflows

The skills from translation - attention to detail, clear communication, and understanding complex systems - have translated beautifully (pun intended) into the world of software development.
