1. Profile
I am a technical writer with twenty years of experience working in the electronics
industry. I am well-versed in all aspects of writing, researching, and organizing
information so that it can be presented clearly and logically to the end user. I have
also been handling my own copyediting duties over the past decade or so, and
have been called upon to deliver marketing copy on a regular basis, as well as write
and produce simple product videos. I understand the organizational and
communications duties involved in producing quality user documentation, and have
strived during my career to deliver the best product possible, on time, every time.
