Summary
What my clients (and their customers) particularly appreciated were: user-oriented language and design, simple explanations of complex relationships in the user's language, comprehensive information for users about the possibilities offered by the respective system (which led to a significant reduction in after-sales service costs), empathy for the company's philosophy and the user, quick understanding and implementation, as well as accuracy, creativity, and strong teamwork skills.
Knowledge of the pharmaceutical industry, medical technology, bioanalytics, and process measurement technology: For about 25 years, my professional work has involved the pharmaceutical and medical industries to a great extent: evaluating clinical studies, designing and selling software for drug approval, and creating manuals for software and devices used in hospitals, laboratories, and the pharmaceutical industry and operated and understood by very different people (MTA, doctor, scientist).
Experience in special-purpose machinery and plant engineering: Over the last 8 years, I have increasingly worked in mechanical engineering and was responsible for the complete Technical Documentation of plants.
Experience with software systems and online help: I also have experience writing manuals and online help for extensive management systems (automotive industry and occupational medicine), as well as for control software for devices, machines, and plants.
Coordination and design of information flow: I see my work, on the one hand, as close cooperation with developers and end users and, on the other hand, as an independent and creative activity: It includes coordinating, documenting, and transforming information, as well as communicating the company's philosophy and preparing information in an appealing way. It encourages users to pick up the manual. The customer achieves success quickly, and the manufacturer's service effort is reduced.
Speed: I am used to working quickly and efficiently. This also includes the ability to familiarize myself with new areas in a very short time.
