I offer a practical mix of language and technical skills.
If you need proofreading, editing and/or reliable backend work (data management/automation) without hiring multiple specialists, I can take care of it.
What I do:
・Proofreading & editing English and German content, from website copy to documents. Native-level precision in both languages.
・WordPress maintenance - content updates, PHP/HTML fixes, general upkeep. I can keep things running and looking clean.
・Google Sheets spreadsheet data management and automation, including Apps Script, to facilitate repetitive workflows.
With native German, native-level English, and a working knowledge of Japanese, I can support local companies as well as businesses operating globally.
I'm straightforward about what falls within my skill set, so if I take on a project, I see it through properly.

If you want to grow in the German-speaking market, or need someone who brings structure, systems, and reliable execution to international projects, you're in the right place.
I help companies generate qualified leads, build visibility, and run operations that don't fall apart under pressure. As a native German speaker with deep roots in the DACH market, I bring more than language skills, I understand the business culture, buyer behavior, and communication standards that make campaigns land instead of getting ignored. That same structured mindset translates directly into international work as well.
What I help with:
- Lead Generation & Prospect Research — targeted, structured, and DACH-specific
- LinkedIn Outreach — native German messaging that feels human, not automated
- SEO — on-page optimization, keyword research, and content strategy for German-speaking audiences
- GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) — making sure your brand gets picked up by AI tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google's AI Overviews
- Paid Ads (Google · LinkedIn · Meta) — campaign setup, audience targeting, and performance tracking tailored to the DACH market
- CRM Organization & Lead Tracking — clean pipelines, no chaos
- Translation & Localization — English → German that reads like it was written in German
- Operations & Virtual Assistance — process documentation, task management, reliable execution
How I work:
I don't just hand over a list of leads or a keyword report and disappear. I build systems, outreach sequences, content structures, tracking setups — that continue to deliver after the project ends.
Backed by a small team of trusted specialists with strong hands-on experience in paid advertising and execution, I can take on larger scopes without sacrificing quality or response time. You get the personal attention of a dedicated specialist with the capacity of a small operation.
My standard: clear systems before scaling, clean communication before automation, reliable execution instead of guesswork.
If you're looking for someone who understands the German market from the inside, or simply wants structured, reliable execution on international projects, let's talk.
Send me a message with your current challenge, and I'll tell you within 24 hours how I'd approach it.

Your support queue is either building your reputation or quietly burning it. We make sure it's the first one.
AssistRing is a managed customer support agency. You don't hire a seat and hope – you get a trained, supervised team with a named point of contact and an SLA in writing.
Clients in e-commerce, travel and hospitality, and B2B SaaS come to us with the same four symptoms:
- Reply times slipping past the point where customers stop waiting and start disputing
- Tickets answered but revenue left on the table: no upsell, no retention save
- A market they can't serve because they don't have native speakers in it
- A QA process that samples 2% of interactions and finds problems weeks after the customer already left
WHAT WE STAFF AND RUN
Customer support teams – email, live chat, phone, and social. Zendesk, Gorgias, Freshdesk, Intercom, HelpScout, Shopify. Trained on your product, your tone, and your policies and managed daily. Coverage from part-time overflow to 24/7.
Native German-speaking specialists — support, sales calls, translation, and voice work for the DACH market, where accent and register decide whether a call converts or dies. We built and ran a 20-person native German team operating seven days a week.
Live call translation – our agents handle calls in 100+ languages, with each side hearing their own. New market coverage stops being a hiring timeline and becomes a switch you flip.
AI voice and chat agents – human-quality first-line coverage that absorbs volume spikes and repeat questions, with a clean handoff to a human who already has the context. No cold restart, no "can you repeat that".
Real-time QA – we score 100% of interactions as they happen, not a 2% sample reviewed next month. Agents get guidance during the call, not a grade after it. Quality becomes a number you can look at.
Back-office and order operations: order management, returns and exchanges, tracking, data entry, and CRM hygiene.
HOW WE ACTUALLY WORK
Western front-end management, offshore delivery. You deal with a manager in your timezone who speaks your commercial language; the delivery team is cost-efficient and fully managed. You get quality and margin instead of a trade-off between them.
We operate to PCI-DSS, HIPAA and GDPR standards. Offices in Hamburg, Karachi, and Stratham, New Hampshire.
A recent hospitality client was about to hire three more agents to fix missed calls. We looked at the data first: the misses clustered in one narrow window, and most were the same handful of repeat questions. The fix was the shape of the coverage, not the headcount. That's the conversation we'd rather have with you.
START HERE
Send us what you're dealing with – volume, channels, languages, tools, hours. You'll get back a straight answer on exactly how we'd staff it and what it costs. No deck, no discovery-call maze.
If it's not a fit, we'll say so.
