I’m a versatile tech writer with experience in software development and medical publishing. In addition to producing developer documentation, I’ve written about medicine, technology, and death for Slate.com, Healthline.com, Fast Company, DFW Airport, Morningstar (the suits, not the veggie burgers), QSR Magazine, and others. I'm (still) trying to learn JavaScript and German. Fahrvergnügen.

The Electronic Health Record
for the Physician's Office (Elsevier)

Elsevier (Saunders) asked me to help write this first-edition textbook and generously acknowledged my contribution on the title page.

Partners for Life
(Blue Waters Group)

Biomicrofluidics technology was new when I wrote this piece a few years ago on behalf of The Blue Waters Group. The article profiles a Notre Dame scientist who paired up with a biotech entrepreneur to develop a handheld diagnostic tool.

The Digestive System (Healthline.com)

When Healthline.com was just getting off the ground, the editors asked me to write a series of "Learning Center" articles on various body systems. This is one of my favorites.

How the Eye Works (Lighthouse)

This piece is from a series of articles I wrote for Lighthouse International, a charitable organization that supports people with blindness or low vision.
