Bio

Originally from Munich (Germany), I hold a master's degree in electrical engineering (Diplom-Ingenieur) with studies completed in electricity, electronics, telecommunications and mechanics. With a solid work history of more than 16 years in the industry and commerce, I specialise in various technical fields.

In addition to numerous technical certifications such as the MCSE (Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer) and ITIL (IT Service Management), I obtained a French language degree from the Institut d'Enseignement Supérieur in Bordeaux. I have been freelance translating from English to German and French to German since 2011.

I had several extended stays abroad during my career (UK, USA, Australia and China); since 2011 I have been living in France and Austria.
