Having worked for many years as a professional engineer and computer programmer in the UK and Germany, I moved on to technical translating and interpreting and have been working as a freelance translator and editor for many years. Previously, I worked mainly in software development, particularly in automation and control engineering in the process and electrical industries. My native language is English.
As an engineer, I was primarily involved in software development in control engineering in the process and manufacturing industries. As a translator, I have specialist knowledge of instrumentation and extensive knowledge of mechanical and electrical engineering, automation systems and information technology. I translate texts covering topics such as, measurement & control, truck parts, solar, warehouses, electronics (chip design), RF radar, and the like. I translate business-related, technical-scientific, and academic texts.
A major focus of my work is with research institutions and universities in Germany. I have proofread many hundreds of papers in English, especially on radar, semiconductors, and electronics, before they were submitted for publication. I have translated three scientific books - two on semiconductors and one on electronics.
I would be glad to hear from you should you have a need for my translation or proofreading services.
