I am an experienced technology writer, having worked for various computing titles both in print and online, now working in a freelance capacity. Areas I have covered include servers, storage, cloud computing and other data centre and infrastructure issues, plus open source software such as Linux and OpenStack, and most technologies from smartphones to big data, the Internet of Things, analytics and operating systems. These topics I have covered from a news standpoint, in-depth analysis, written reviews and blog posts, interviews (text and on camera), and contributed to technical briefings and white papers.
As Technology Editor, I covered a broad range of topics, chiefly concerning infrastructure and enterprise technology, such as cloud computing, servers, storage, networking, open source software, operating systems, databases, virtualisation and big data.
IT Week focused on delivering relevant information to IT decision makers. As Client Technology Editor, I covered PCs, laptops, smartphones and software, including the latest news, in-depth analysis and labs testing.
Reviews Editor role involved commissioning and editing up to 30 pages of product reviews per monthly issue. Later, as Technical Editor, I was responsible for the labs-based comparative group tests of products.
