Alongside my work as a technical author, I worked as a freelance technical editor/reviewer on eight computing books for major US publishers between 2000 and 2013.

Drawing on my professional background in Unix and systems administration, my role involved reviewing manuscripts for technical accuracy while also identifying issues with clarity, consistency and the presentation of complex technical information.
