Freelance Technical Writer

Particularly well received by my clients (and their customers) were: user-orientation in language and design, simple explanation of complex relationships in the user's terms, comprehensive information about the possibilities of each system (which led to a significant reduction in after-sales service costs), empathy with the company philosophy and the user, quick comprehension and implementation, as well as accuracy, creativity and strong teamwork.

Knowledge of the pharmaceutical industry, medical technology, bioanalytics and process measurement technology: For about 25 years I have worked extensively with the pharmaceutical and medical sectors: analyzing clinical studies, designing and marketing software for drug approval, producing manuals for software and devices used in hospitals, labs and the pharma industry, which must be operated and understood by a wide range of people (medical technical assistants, doctors, scientists).

Experience in special machine and plant engineering: Over the last 8 years I have been primarily active in mechanical engineering and took responsibility for all technical documentation of plants.

Experience with software systems and online help: I also have experience in writing manuals and online help for large management systems (automotive industry and occupational medicine) as well as control software for devices, machines and plants.

Coordination and management of information flow: I view my work both as close collaboration with developers and end users and as an independent creative task: it covers coordinating, documenting and transforming information as well as communicating the company philosophy and presenting information in an engaging way. It encourages users to turn to the manual. The client enjoys quick successes and the manufacturer's service effort is reduced.

Speed: I am used to working quickly and efficiently. This also includes the ability to get up to speed in new areas in a very short time.
