Has worked since 1998 as a freelance German and English interpreter with a special focus on medicine and technology. His favourite food after a long day in the booth: “A steaming tureen of pho, a thinly sliced meat and rice-noodle soup dish from Vietnam. Served with chilli, garlic and ginger it is a marvellous pick-me-up.”
