My passions are writing, training, translation and languages, with 15+ years of experience lecturing Computer Science at universities, technical writing for Fortune 100 companies, and teaching English to children and adults in Germany, Japan, and Denmark. No AI tools - I write everything from scratch and edit your content thoroughly. Therefore, I can promise you won't have the copyright, plagiarism, privacy or security problems that you otherwise would from AI tools like ChatGPT. When editing research, I always check every reference for validity. That also means - the Upwork AI harvesting of communications and documents is disabled in my profile. I strongly recommend you also opt out in your profile settings - client-freelancer contracts and comms should be confidential and not taken for training a LLM. I translate from German to English, specialising in technical, legal and medical content. I love distilling complex topics and regional language into content that is easy to understand. I have a flair for terminology consistency resulting in lowered translation costs.
