Experience
- Freelance Technical Documentation ConsultantTechnical Documentation SpecialistMECHANICAL ENGINEERINGFebruary 2013 - Today (13 years and 6 months)System-Oriented Technical Documentation for Complex Industrial SystemsIn addition to my formal qualifications, I have deliberately developed specialized technical expertise within industrial environments, forming the structural foundation of my work in technical documentation and information architecture.My background spans mechanical engineering, materials and surface quality, electrical wiring, control engineering, and hardware-software integrated systems. This has shaped a system-oriented understanding of how technical components interact across disciplines.I approach industrial systems not as isolated domains, but as integrated structures whose components, dependencies, and interfaces must be analyzed and aligned systematically.This interdisciplinary perspective enables me to identify structural gaps, inconsistencies, and cross-domain dependencies that are often overlooked when documentation is created from a single-discipline viewpoint.This system-oriented approach is directly reflected in my practical work:Structuring technical content based on complex systems (mechanical, electrical, software) with a strong understanding of CAD-based system logic and the ability to interpret technical drawings and assembly structuresCreating modular, reusable content in XML-based authoring environments, including direct work with XML structures (structuring, editing, and adapting modular content at code level)
