My undergraduate degree in Computer Science at the University of Southern California (BS 1977), and master’s degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (SM 1982) prepared me to chew through complex technical information quickly and accurately.
Subsequent employment as a member of technical staff used not only my coding and writing skills, but also required project management, public speaking and authoring technical papers.
Under my direction, projects have grown from fuzzy hand-waving through detailed specifications and multi-stage progress reports to sign-off at successful completion.
Before the World Wide Web was invented, I wrote copy for technical archive and retrieval. When HTML burst open the Internet, I added writing copy for websites. Complex technical writing always needs translation into plain English. I can translate for your target audience.
Writing is an everyday task for me: from blogs and tweets to news releases, features and articles.
All this experience is freelance and waiting to help you.
