Bio

About me

German-Spanish technical interpreter based in Barcelona. Specializing in the automotive, engineering, and industrial machinery sectors. I provide direct communication solutions for factory floor operations, audits, and technical training for companies seeking German precision combined with local proximity.

I bridge the gap between technology and people where technical detail is critical.

Looking for an interpreter who feels at home on the factory floor, in technical training sessions, remote meetings, or demanding consultations with engineers? You have come to the right place.

I work as a German–Spanish technical interpreter because I enjoy understanding how things work: machines, processes, troubleshooting, production lines... I like being there, asking the right questions in advance, and ensuring that communication flows naturally and accurately.

I don’t just "translate words". I help people understand each other when it matters most: during installations, audits, negotiations, technical training or problem-solving sessions — both on-site and remote.

How can I help you?

  • Technical meetings with clients or suppliers (DE <> ES)

  • On-site interpreting at industrial plants

  • Remote Simultaneous Interpreting (Zoom, Teams, and other platforms)

  • Technical training and workshops

  • Machine installations, commissioning, and after-sales support

  • Trade fairs and sector-specific events

  • Conference interpreting for highly technical subjects

If your project involves engineering, manufacturing or industrial environments, that is where I excel.

What do I offer?

  • Clear, precise, and agile interpreting: Immediate reaction capacity and fluency, maintaining technical rigor even during fast-paced exchanges

  • Technical accuracy: Rigorous terminological preparation before every assignment

  • Versatility: Ability to adapt to different profiles, from shop-floor operators to senior engineers and executives

  • Reliability: Confidentiality and a calm, decisive presence under pressure

I combine a curiosity for technology with strong communication skills. This blend allows me to build bridges not only between languages but also between professional cultures, ensuring the technical message is delivered with its original intent intact.

And one more thing: Precision at the MedTech intersection

Beyond the industrial sector, I also specialize in medical translation (DE/EN > ES), specifically where medicine and technology converge.

I work with medical device documentation (MedTech), medical and technical files, patient information, Instructions for Use (IFU), and medical equipment materials that demand absolute precision and regulatory knowledge.

At first glance, combining industry and medicine might seem unusual, but for me, it is a natural evolution: both sectors share the need to understand complex systems and handle high-responsibility terminology. In medical translation, accuracy is not optional; it is precisely there, in the rigor and detail, where I provide my greatest value.

Whether your project requires technical expertise or medical precision, I would be delighted to assist you.

Location & availability

Based in Barcelona, available for national and international travel. I also work regularly in remote settings.

Please feel free to call or email me to check my availability or discuss your upcoming project. I look forward to working with you.
