Work and other
Experience
From 1970 to 1972 I worked
for Marconi Radar Systems, Leicester as Test and Quality Engineer.
After the PGCE was awarded in 1974 I taught Physics and Maths
for several years in Leicester, Northamptonshire and Redditch.
In 1985/6 I was head of
Physics at the Abbey High School, Redditch, leaving at the end of 1986.
From
January 1987 to December 1988 I was a Lecturer in Electronics at
Sandwell College of Further and Higher Education, teaching courses in
electronics and computing from GCSE up to BTEC HND level.
In the
early part of 1989 I did some work as a freelance Design
Engineer.
In the summer of 1989 I took up employment with
Selcom Ltd. in Birmingham as a Development Engineer.
In August 1990 I moved to Hamburg to work (until 8th October
1996) as a Project Engineer for Schaltex GmbH, working principally on
RISC systems for digital image processing.
During this time I was
also active as Stellvertretender Vorsitzender (Vice-president) of Kagyu
Benchen Ling e.V. (a charitable trust), and for three years was in my
spare time the manager of a Summer Camp held in Alsace by that
organisation.
In October 1996 I moved to Wales to work
full-time as a freelance translator from German to English, since which
date my output has amounted to about two million words. In the spring of
1998 I was accepted as an Associate Member of the Institute of Translation and
Interpreting. In the October of that year I moved to Ireland, and became a full
MITI in 2001. I have lived in Australia since the end of
2005.
