Bio

Hi, my name is Alex.

I am a German to English translator based in Austria. I love translation work and I am passionate about producing the highest quality translations.

With a master's degree in translation and seven years of practical experience I've had lots of practice at honing the skills required to translate accurately and idiomatically.

My main field of specialisation is information technology, which I studied while working as an in-house translator for a market-leading multimedia software company in Berlin. During my three years in that position I translated a large volume of software manuals, website texts, and product descriptions. Besides, I am a DJ and budding music producer, which also contributes to my knowledge and understanding of audio editing software.

As an IRATA qualified climber, tree surgeon, and rope access technician I have a thorough knowledge of industrial climbing, arboricultural issues, and climbing equipment/techniques. This forms the basis for my second area of specialisation: agriculture/arboriculture and rope access.
