Researcher by training. Translator by craft.

In the first person.

Translation and interpretation go far beyond the mechanical transfer of words from one language to another. It is an act of deep intellectual execution — capturing the precise architecture of an argument, the historical weight of a concept, and the distinct voice of an author.

My name is Gerardo Piña, PhD. Based in Mexico City, I am a professional translator, interpreter, and researcher working at the exact intersection of language, culture, and high-level scholarship. As an active member of Mexico's National System of Researchers (SNI 1), my academic background anchors my linguistic practice.

I specialize entirely in text-dense, conceptually complex fields within the Humanities (Philosophy, Literature, Art History) and Qualitative Social Sciences. Moving seamlessly across English, Spanish, and German, my work bridges the gap between European thought and global publishing standards.

Beyond translation itself, I provide academic editing, manuscript revision, and high-level content development for authors, university presses, and literary houses navigating high-stakes international publications.
