Top SchoolKymberly Fergusson is a freelance technical writer, editor, translator (DE>EN, DK>EN) and English teacher with nine years of professional freelancing built on a computer science and medical background. She crafts bespoke, confidentiality-safe technical and academic content—ranging from PhD theses and medical textbooks to privacy policies and product documentation—without using AI or third‑party content-generation tools. Her experience spans IT, telecommunications, finance, science and legal domains, and she has managed content and translation teams while enforcing style guides for clients including the UN EMT CC, draw.io and IG Metall. A former technical writer and project manager at Moldflow/Autodesk and lecturer/tutor in computer science, she combines deep technical literacy (DITA/DITA conversions, MathML, revision control) with hands-on language teaching and translation experience. Based in Leipzig, she balances precise editorial craft with practical pedagogy and a knack for translating complex, multidisciplinary material into clear, usable content.
