Hi, I'm Stuart Mudie.
I work with words - written, spoken and occasionally even sung - and I live in Paris, France.
I also lived in Spain for several years (in Barcelona, León and Pontevedra) and I grew up in Dundee, Scotland.

The common thread that ties it all together is words.
I earn a living explaining things about technology, and enjoy working to understand them myself first.
I currently work for Talend, a leading provider of cloud apps for data integration and data integrity, that was recently acquired by Qlik.
I also wrote a couple of books, including one for the Dummies series.

I speak fluent French and Spanish, and can get by in Catalan, Portuguese, Italian and German too. I just started learning some Swedish.
I no longer translate professionally, but I do still help some friends out from time to time.
For a long time I have written lyrics for a bunch of Paris bands, mostly in the alternative rock and folk genres.
I then started taking part in spoken-word performances with some musician friends.
One of these collaborations turned into an eleven-piece band with which I now have a lot of fun playing gigs around Paris.
We released our second album in 2022 and are already hard at work on its follow-up.
