Before becoming a full-time translator and proofreader two years ago I repeatedly translated and edited technical texts as well as brochures and manuals about software and quality assurance while being an online editor for a consultancy on software quality. I have been editing both, German and English texts.
I also have been doing translations of event programs (in the field of real estate) and prose/literary texts following studies in English and American literature and linguistics.
