I have translated MARC bibliographic and authority formats and cataloged books and materials for the National Library of Kosovo. I’ve delivered extensive training on MARC cataloging and metadata software, covering both bibliographic and authority records. These skills directly support AI annotation workflows, and I understand how structured metadata enhances machine learning and content classification.

This is part of an ongoing project translating thirteen science fiction short stories by Ray Nayler into Albanian. The collection, Mos më harro dhe tregime të tjera, is a work in progress and scheduled for publication in 2026 upon completion of the translations.

This bilingual edition features my Albanian translation of Sinclair Lewis’s “The Willow Walk” (“Shëtitorja në hijen e shelgjeve”), published by Shtepia Botuese REA in 2025 as part of a collection of five short stories. Placed side by side with the original English text, the work highlights my focus on preserving literary nuance, rhythm, and atmosphere while making Lewis’s stories accessible to Albanian readers.
