Technology had always fascinated me, and I loved getting computers to do things. So no, I never planned to be a writer. 💾 𝗔 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗯𝗶𝘁𝘀 As a youth, I had a blast learning to code and writing apps. When others went partying, I pored over IT magazines and compared the specifications of enterprise systems. Technology works through rigid interfaces and often immutable rules. I enjoyed breaking preconceptions of what's possible and stitching new capabilities together in unanticipated ways. I began my career as an IT professional. - Wrote some code. - Set up server rooms. - Dabbled in networking. The only writing I've done at this point is emails. And some code. 📝 𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗰𝗼𝗱𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘀𝗲 I collected my last monthly pay cheque in 2009, joining the gig economy before the term was coined. It started with an attempt to earn some extra income writing some blogs. Then it became a full-time job. Through fortuitous timing, I had the privilege of being paid to hone my craft writing for top global IT publications. - PC World. - TechRepublic. - Computerworld. ... and many others. Over 15 years, I've also written for local and regional broadsheets, trade media outlets, and consumer tech publications. I continue writing editorially to this day. 💰 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻 𝗮 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴? Glad you asked. Besides my editorial work - Muck Rack shows over 2,000 bylines, I help corporate clients with their content. Here's what I've done: 🔸𝗪𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗲: Content for top brands in the enterprise IT, cybersecurity, cloud, data centre, DBMS, and data science space. 🔸𝗖𝗿𝗮𝗳𝘁: CIO statements for annual reports, research reports of over 80 pages, and custom ABM briefs. 🔸𝗘𝗱𝗶𝘁: Edit or rewrite content for government agencies, banks, and enterprise tech firms. 🔸𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝘆: Produce strategic content and put together content strategies for niche industries. 🔸𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗰𝘂𝘀𝘀: Plan, record podcasts, host private roundtables discussions, and moderate panels. ☀️ 𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 The world is changing quicker than ever, and it's crucial to understand the implications of these advancements. As part of my own exploration, I seek to write about new tech developments to: - Add context and depth to bland reports. - Concisely flesh out pertinent details. - Highlight what is not being said. - Explain what it means to you. I get to the tech that matters and make complex concepts accessible. 👉 Follow me to see more of my posts. ✅ Or check out my blog and sign up for my newsletter.
