Translating for Humanity
Tarjimly is a YC-backed nonprofit (YC W18) that allows anyone to volunteer their language skills to help refugees and immigrants in need. We connect the world's bilingual speakers with the 23 million refugees struggling to communicate with doctors, lawyers, and NGOs using chat, phone, and video calling. We're building a new way for the world to help refugees by bridging language gaps.
Tarjimly provides fast, affordable language interpretation and document translation services delivered via web, app, or hotline, supporting refugees, humanitarian workers, organizations, and individuals. Profits fund free or low-cost access for displaced people, backed by a large volunteer network.
Users connect with professional interpreters or translators through web, app, or hotline. Services include live interpretation (in 30 seconds or less), document translation (pay per word), in-person interpretation (quote on request), and remote simultaneous interpretation for online events. Pricing varies by service type (per minute for hotline, per word for text translation, pricing on request for in-person and remote interpretation), with a 20% Refugee Week discount noted. All profits fund language access for displaced people, supported by over 56,000 volunteers and 250+ languages, including ASL and rare languages.

Co-founder at Nash. Prior to Nash, I spent a couple of years building Tarjimly (YC W18), a mobile application to connect refugees with real, volunteer translators all over the world. Before that, I was a software engineer at Palantir working on a number of high-volume data problems. I received my Bachelors and Masters in Computer Science in 2015 from MIT. I love mission-driven work that is coupled with great technical execution. I am in the Bay Area, and love meeting new people, so say hello :)
