About

I’ve been working with the written (and spoken) word, very broadly construed, since 2004. I love and enjoy working with texts: I write, edit, research, translate, proofread, fact-check, peer-review and present them.

Together with Rebeka Sara Szigethy, I’m also the co-founder of the creative enterprise The Drawer Project and the business partnership Textor Languages.


I’m a member of the Kurt Vonnegut Society, the Milton Society of America, the British Haiku Society and the Association Computability in Europe. Other positions I hold are those of Editorial Board member at the Yearbook of Moving Image Studies, peer-reviewer for Watchung Review, and community reviewer for EAI Endorsed Transactions: e-Learning and EAI Endorsed Transactions: Security and Safety.

My full CV as well as educational and work history is available on my LinkedIn profile.
