Software development and technical writing for small and medium enterprises.

Services

WritingI can document research activities 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.
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.

Many of my userscripts are published under an MIT Licence. Contact me for samples of software developed for other platforms.
