Are you looking for a native Enslish writer, editor, researcher, etc. with a technical background and 10 years writing experience? I am a professional technical writer with 10 years experience in high tech computer related projects. During that time I have worked on nearly all types of documents in the field - installation and user guides, administration manuals, reference guides for GUI and CLI interfaces, Software development reports and proposals, customer support documentation including FAQs and knowledge base articles, CMS projects such as Wikis and wordpress blogs, marketing communications, and much more. In the last couple years I have written successful web-based articles for [login to view URL] as a hobby - [login to view URL]. Additionally I have experience in QA, technical support, and telecom software devlopment, and web development. I am experienced with various writing tools including Adobe FrameMaker, MS Office, Open Office, Adobe Acrobat, and more. Basic graphic design and illustration are also on my resume using Adobe PhotoShop, Adobe Illustrator, and Visio to meet any illustration requirements my documentation may require. Contact me for more information, long term rates, pricing by the word for articles, or any other questions you may have.
