Technology
Portfolio
I write articles on technology for a number of clients. I specialize in researching and accurately interpreting sophisticated concepts and making them accessible to a wider readership.
Many of my technology-focused articles have been written for MakeUseOf.com (MUO).
Make Use Of is a consumer-tech site aimed at empowering readers to make the most of their software, hardware, and digital services.
I researched, pitched, and wrote guides and stories, reviewed new applications and operating systems, and kept readers up-to-date with the latest developments.
I have also worked with Selectra, another B2C site with a focus on recommending green energy solutions, along with providing news and advice regarding personal finance and technology.
I wrote SEO-optimised news stories, analyses, blog posts, how-to guides, reviews, and other material focused on renewable technology for Selectra and their sister site theSwitch.co.uk.
A substantial part of the role involved turning complex information and large quantities of data into easy-to-read content that would be informative, entertaining, and useful to our readers.
My output covered a variety of topics such as renewable and low-carbon energy projects, climate change, the energy market, and consumer technology.
Here is a selection of my writing in the technology sector:
