About me
Specialization:
I specialize in business processes, engineering and industrial products, particularly automation, motors, and variable speed drives. My previous customers included many different machinery OEM's, as well as industrial users in various industries: pulp and paper, oil and gas, chemical, automotive, food and beverage, etc.


Translation Experience:
I translated operating manuals and instructions, catalogs, product brochures and advertising materials while employed as a business manager. I have translated technical handbooks, technical product specifications, company newsletters, quotations and press releases since working full time as a translator.

Technology:
I have a broadband connection to the internet, and am using a PC running Windows XP. My internet connection is "always on" during the business day. I use Microsoft Office 2010, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint.


I am a Canadian professional engineer. I worked as a manager in sales and marketing for a German multinational organization (Siemens) in Canada and USA for many years. During that time I translated both formally and informally from German to English.
I have been translating full-time since January 2002.
