Ariadna Vigo
Linguist, translator, and (sometimes) writer
Hi there!
Welcome to my website! My name is Ariadna: I’m a PhD in Linguistics, working as a freelance professional consultant for language services for individuals and companies: proofreading, translation, language auditing, support for research projects, etc. You might find more information about my line of work here.
On this website I also publish my writings (only in Spanish so far). Usually I write short stories, but I might also publish essays from time to time. Now,when I decided to build this site, I promised myself that I would explore this craft of mine without rushing it and totally free from the pressure of the “Algorithmic Internet.” Therefore, I’m not following any publishing schedule on my site. You’ll find my work here (redirects to Spanish site).
I’m also an occasional amateur programmer; something I inherited from my grandpa, who was an electrical engineer, and taught me the basics on his old ZX Spectrum. I usually write C and POSIX shell scripting, but I’m always looking for new challenging horizons. In fact, this very website is written, built, and deployed 100% with open source tools; you may find the code running this site on GitHub, as well as code for other projects of mine.
Y “contengo muchas multitudes” más, parafraseando al poeta: desde el amor por la filosofía, el derecho, el arte y la técnica, pasando por una vida de aventuras, retos y mucha experiencia tanto en lo más palaciego como en lo más humilde… hasta llegar al punto presente, llena yo de sedimento y de una vida muy vivida. Confío que en mis textos y en mi trabajo eso siempre está presente.
Riffing on Whitman’s verse, “I contain (many more) multitudes”. From love, philosophy, law, art, and tech, to a life full of adventure, challenges, and many, many experiences from the highest to the lowest… And now, in this present time, I find myself filled with sediments of a well-lived live. I truly strive for my writing and work to show all of it.
So, paraphrasing the Catalan saying Passeu, passeu a veure el piset, I invite you to: Come in, come in, and feel at home at this website!.
And I wish you all lots of love.
