I focus on indexing technical material, especially Linux, open-source software, and computing. With a decade of UNIX and Linux system administration experience and nearly two decades as a technical writer, I understand both the technology and the way readers search for answers.
I completed the Indexing: Theory and Application course through UC Berkeley Extension in 2025 and hold a Master’s degree in Technical Communication Management. My indexing work benefits from a strong foundation in information organization, usability, and clarity, skills developed through years of producing technical documentation.
