I've been working as a full-time freelancer for the past 20 years. My business was founded in September of 2005, and now in 2025 it has been requested by agencies in 19 countries. A big thank you to my clients!

The translation jobs I work on involve putting electronic documents into German, usually to tight deadlines (days or even hours).

I focus on software-related assignments, leveraging my experience as a developer. Examples are instruction manuals, software localization strings, marketing copy or supporting documents for consumer electronics and office appliances.

Often, I'm asked to do related tasks such as proofreading, editing, and quality analysis of pre-existing documents.

With hundreds of purchase orders fulfilled, my clients now benefit from a proven set of time-tested practices and professional tools in my work-flow.

Some of my clients have been regulars for almost two decades. Project managers have expressed their gratitude to me for being consistently friendly, competent and responsive. Of the thousands of projects I have delivered, surely less than a handful were delivered past the agreed deadline.

Prior to working freelance I worked as an in-house employee in various corporate settings, with responsibilities including software development related to a large customer database, client administration and downstream technical support for electronic car auctions.

Earlier still, I worked on multi-lingual document indexing in the library of an art conservation institute, and as a CELTA certified English language teacher in Kyoto.

I've spent a lot of time in intercultural settings, living and working abroad for a few years in France, the US, England, and Japan. I have a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics (Open University, 2015).
