Stephen Maas

I have 3 years of in-house, technical translation experience in the printing technology sector.  During this time, I gained valuable experience while working directly with highly trained German engineers and designers.  This direct-contact experience allowed me to have hands-on access to the most state-of-the-art printing technology, systems and equipment. 

 My most practiced experience deals with sheetfed offset printing presses, in conventional as well as digital formats and in all sizes.  I also have experience with web offset presses and bookbinding machinery.  This experience included all mechanical, electrical, pneumatic, chemical and software systems involved in running a high-performance offset press.

I now work independently, translating technical materials as well as general business literature, manuals, correspondence and marketing materials. 

In addition to over one year of residence in Germany, where I studied at the Universitaet Dortmund, I also studied German at Hamilton College, where I earned a Bachelor of Arts degree with a double concentration in German and Creative Writing.
