Technical Documentation & Information Structuring
I create, review and structure technical documentation for machinery, industrial equipment and complex hardware/software systems. I turn engineering data and specialist knowledge into clear manuals, technical illustrations and consistent user information.

My experience spans mechanical and plant engineering, MedTech and Automotive, connecting documentation with engineering, service and software development.

Technical Documentation & Systems Engineering
  • Operating, service and maintenance documentation based on engineering drawings, specifications and input from technical specialists.
  • Documentation of system functions, interfaces and dependencies across mechanical, hardware and software domains.
  • Modular, reusable content and XML-based authoring structures using CCMS and XML Schema.
  • Docs-as-code workflows, version control and documentation builds using Visual Studio, Azure DevOps and IBM ClearCase.
  • SAP Release Notes: authoring, content structuring and coordination across departments.
  • Documentation reviews supporting risk assessment, consistency and applicable regulatory requirements.


Technical Illustration
  • Vector-based illustrations derived from CAD data, engineering drawings and product references.
  • Assembly, exploded-view and service illustrations that explain components and working steps.
  • Simplification of complex geometry for clear, task-focused visual information.
  • Visualization of equipment, processes and system relationships using CorelDRAW and technical illustration workflows.



Information Architecture & Documentation Review
  • Analysis and restructuring of existing documentation and distributed information sources.
  • Content models, modular structures and navigation concepts that make information easier to find and maintain.
  • Mapping of information sources, system relationships and content dependencies.
  • Capture and organization of internal expert knowledge.
  • Independent reviews identifying gaps, inconsistencies and opportunities for improvement.

UI & Software Localization Review
  • Context-based review of localized interfaces using screenshots and string IDs.
  • Review of labels, buttons, error messages and system states for clarity and consistent meaning.
  • Terminology alignment across software interfaces, manuals and service information.
  • Identification of text expansion, unsuitable line breaks, truncation and layout issues.
  • Actionable findings for development and localization teams.

A little more about...

Freelance Professional

Industrie und Maschinenbau

< 10 Mitarbeiter


.. me, my way of working, and my passion for clear technology.

Behind every standards-compliant documentation is a human being who wants to make complex technology easy to understand. That is exactly what drives me. I love balancing the absolute precision required in regulated environments with creative, visual detail work.

Technical illustrations and vector drawings are both my craft and my personal creative outlet. Throughout my career, I have applied this visual formatting extensively – in high-tech mechanical engineering as well as with manufacturers like KTM. Whether using CorelDRAW, or other software – I truly enjoy seeing how a clean graphic breaks up a manual and instantly opens the user's eyes.


To ensure your products shine visually and are legally bulletproof, I bring expertise from three worlds:
  • Mechanical Engineering: Operating manuals according to EN ISO 20607 and risk assessments (ISO 12100).
  • Medical Technology: Instructions for Use (IFU) compliant with MDR, ISO 13485, and usability standards (IEC 62366-1).
  • Software & IT: API and user documentation according to ISO/IEC/IEEE 26514 (with a strong focus on Docs-as-Code).

A look into practice:

I look forward to leading your project to success with structure, compliance expertise and top visuals.
