I Would Love to Discuss Your Project

Some more scoop on often-asked-for services is listed below, along with a link to my full resume and a current client list. I would love the opportunity to talk with you about your project and how I might help to make it a success.

I have 35 years of experience in process improvement: policy, process, and procedure documentation, IT risk assessments and remediation
 

Technical Writing Services

My primary goal for any project is to empower customers and users with consistent, clear, and usable documentation.

  • Work with subject matter experts and users to document technical information, including business requirements in development projects.

  • Interpret platform capabilities, architectural specifications, regulatory requirements, and security policies for production/operational readiness deliverables to drive business critical cybersecurity initiatives across multiple industries and delivery methodologies (Agile, SCRUM, Waterfall).

  • Develop policies, standards, and procedures in accordance with CobiT, NERC, or NIST control objectives to minimize risk and maximize efficiency.

  • Create Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) documentation proving testability of requirements and design and, therefore, validating the system's intended use.

  • Plan and conduct usability reviews to ensure excellence in customer experience.

  • Develop standards and style guides to improve and provide consistency.

  • Offer guidance in creating document and Web content and change management solutions and policies.

Biographies, Profiles, Web Copy, and General Writing and Editing Services

My focus on these projects is to write appropriately for the publication. Corporate? Professional? Non-profit? Charity?

  • Learn the brand.

  • Identify the purpose and the audience.

  • Become familiar with the audience. Are they traditional or more relaxed? Younger or older? New or experienced? What is the tone? Is it serious or is there a place for personality or humor?
