I offer a range of services for your creative and technical endeavours. From software development to DevOps and administration, I’ve got you covered. With almost a decade of experience, I handle typesetting, proofreading, and translations. Need ancient language consulting or a custom language for your project? I’m here for it. Get in touch.

Software development

With a robust background in software development, I bring a wealth of expertise to the table. In my work with CheckPad MED, I aided the development of a digital patient file seamlessly integrated with hospital IT systems, leveraging Haskell, TypeScript, and Docker.

During my position at PEIX Agentur für Design & Kommunikation, I contributed to the development of iisy, a web application managing the creative cycle of pharmaceutical sales presentations. Technologies such as TypeScript, MongoDB, and Kubernetes on Google Cloud were employed to ensure optimal performance.

In collaboration with FilliDeFilla, I actively participated in the development of Progressive Web Applications (PWAs) for tourism associations and the World Orienteering Championship 2023. Utilizing functional programming languages Elm and Haskell, the services of Hasura and Strapi for database and CMS, along with deploying our applications on NixOS, underscores an approach that prioritizes robust and secure code while facilitating swift development speeds.

While at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, I’m taking on the responsibility of advancing ALEW, an online dictionary web application resting on a complex PostgreSQL dataset, built with Nuxt.js and running with Docker compose on CentOS. My contributions include enhancing the design for visual appeal, functionality, responsiveness, and speed. Notably, I achieved a 10x improvement in search speed. Beyond development, I play a crucial role in the service’s ongoing functionality, ensuring it runs seamlessly on university infrastructure.

As an experienced software developer, I’m ready for freelance opportunities. Bringing a hands-on approach to crafting practical solutions, I’m happy to discuss your project requirements.

DevOps and administration

With hands-on experience managing both virtual and bare-metal servers, I’ve successfully hosted diverse web applications. My expertise extends to implementing robust monitoring solutions using Prometheus, Alertmanager, and Grafana. You can count on reliable, secure, and scalable deployments.

Typesetting

With almost a decade of experience in typesetting various documents using LaTeX—ranging from slides and flyers to scientific papers and entire books—I’m here to help you typeset any document in your preferred language, following trusted typographic conventions and the requirements of any publisher or institution of your choosing. Additionally, I offer the convenience of converting from any document format to ensure a seamless transition. If you’re using LaTeX yourself and encounter any challenges, I’m available for consultations to ensure a smooth process.

Proofreading and editing

With a background in linguistics and literature, I bring a keen eye for detail and a deep understanding of linguistic and stylistic nuances. Drawing on my experience working with arts and culture magazines and scientific publications, I offer meticulous proofreading and editing assistance for texts in my native language, German. If you’re unsure about the intricacies of German spelling or grammar, I’m happy to help you out.

Literary translation

Need your poems translated into German? I’ve got you covered. Whether it’s for publication in a German-speaking country, participation in a poetry festival, or any other occasion, I specialize in producing accurate translations that stay true to the metrical form and poetic voice of your original text.

I bring ample experience in translating poetry from Russian and English and have dabbled in Danish, Spanish and Albanian. Open to exploring other languages as well—just reach out, and we can discuss your needs. Wondering about the quality of my translations? I’m more than willing to provide samples.

Ancient language consulting

With a passion for ancient languages and a track record in translating and coaching, I offer my expertise as an ancient language consultant. Specializing in Latin and Ancient Greek, I provide translation services for various contexts, including theater and film. Notably, I’ve contributed to the German dub of Three Thousand Years of Longing (2022).

Beyond Latin and Ancient Greek, there’s a good chance I can assist with other ancient languages as well. Whether you’re seeking accurate translations or need a pronunciation coach for an authentic touch in theater or film, go ahead and reach out to me.

Language creation

Whether it’s for books, theater, or film, I specialize in crafting bespoke fictional languages tailored to your unique requirements. From distinct soundscapes to custom grammar, every element is designed to seamlessly integrate with your creative vision. Services include translating text or dialogue into your custom language and providing pronunciation coaching for actors. Elevate your project with a linguistic touch that adds depth and authenticity.
