As Technical Editor for English documentation at B&R Industrial Automation, I bring several years of experience developing and optimizing translation and terminology strategies for complex technical content. My work spans a wide range of domains – from control technology and engineering software to robotics and motion systems. I focus on identifying inefficiencies and implementing practical solutions in terminology management, translation workflows, and content handling. Whether it’s refining review processes, improving tool integration, or eliminating repetitive tasks, my goal is to make technical communication smarter, faster, and more sustainable. Beyond my daily work, I am an active member of the tekom Working Group for Terminology in Technical Communication (AG TTK).
