Editor, Writer Tech
For the past 26 years I have been working as an editor and writer in the computer/high-tech domains. I have worked on established magazines, magazine and Web startups as well as computer hardware and software product launches. I have extensive writing experience in a wide variety of areas and pride myself on being able to learn, research, and write about almost any topic. I am very familiar with the entire publishing process from working with authors to editing to layout and design and ultimately to print or online. Ideally I would like a position building and/or managing an editorial team on a startup project.

One of my editorials was quoted in the New York Times. One of my technical articles on 3D rendering has been translated into a dozen languages and is still listed as required reading for a number of college graphics courses. |
