I work at the intersection of localization technology, document workflows, PDF accessibility, OCR/DTP, and technical support.

My background includes 20+ years of experience supporting localization teams, project managers, translators, and international clients with complex file preparation, CAT tool environments, troubleshooting, document reconstruction, workflow optimization, and user training.

I specialize in complex PDF and document workflows: OCR, DTP, PDF remediation, PDF/UA preparation, accessible document structure, reading order, tables, forms, and validation with tools such as Adobe Acrobat Pro, PAC, NVDA, ABBYY FineReader, SDL Trados, memoQ, Excel, VBA, and Python.

My strength is not only fixing files, but understanding why workflows break and how to make them more reliable, structured, and production-ready. I can support projects related to localization engineering, CAT tool support, document remediation, PDF accessibility / barrierefreie PDF, Dokumentenaufbereitung, OCR/DTP, workflow optimization, and technical production support.

I communicate clearly, work carefully, and focus on delivering files and workflows that are not only technically correct, but usable in real production environments. I enjoy working on difficult files and messy workflows — the kind of problems where structure, patience, technical understanding, and practical judgment make the difference.
