Passionate about SAP translation
About me
For the past 12 years, I have worked within the SAP ecosystem. During this time, my main focus has been on the SAP Basis component, more precisely: on the areas of language dependency and translation. I also developed a number SAP add-ons, and I am proficient in the ABAP programming language. I am certified as Technology Associate - SAP NetWeaver 7.0.
I am working for text&form as Director of SAP Translation. I head a team consulting to clients that are running multilingual SAP systems and need to translate texts into other languages in these systems.
I also write a blog called One Million Lines.
