**Technical documentation** - a mechanical engineer with technical writing and editing experience will work with you to produce the precise, accurate, logical documentation you need. **Translations** - proficient in Dutch, Japanese and French, I can help you find the English wording you're looking for.
As a mechanical engineer, I understand technical documents and the importance of accuracy and clarity. As a former English teacher, I have a profound grasp of the English language and its grammatical intricacies. As a technical writer, I know the standards relating to technical documentation and formatting. I can help you.
I have written and revised several instruction manuals for machinery and both written and edited technical product publications.
