Top SchoolJake Humphrey is a multidisciplinary engineer-turned-translator with 13 years of experience bridging high-performance ASIC design and literary localization. After designing chipsets for datacenter and ISP equipment at Alcatel‑Lucent and Nokia, he transitioned to freelance Japanese‑English translation, contributing to multiple Yen Press light novel and manga releases. He holds a First Class MEng from Imperial College London and brings the analytical rigor of an engineer to translation—careful source fidelity, structural clarity, and technical discipline in workflows.
