Software development and technical writing for small and medium enterprises.

Services

WritingI can document software systems and research activities in clear English for both technical and non-technical audiences. I’m fluent in programming, software design, and mathematics, and am experienced teacher of all these at university level.
Software DevelopmentI’ve developed software for a wide variety of technology platforms, specialising in research applications requiring a broad knowledge of science and engineering beyond that found in a basic Bachelor of Information Technology.
UserscriptsI’ve developed a number of userscripts for removing minor annoyances from popular web sites.

A Little Research’s blog publishes research-based reviews of topics of general interest to the computing community. I can also provide specialised technical reviews for clients, such as the following examples.

I’ve also also published non-fiction for popular audiences in The Conversation, IEEE Technology and Society Magazine, and Aurealis.
