    Hello! I can make your complex technical information short and sweet, providing effective content in cases where traditional technical writers lack practical depth. My specializations are information security and cryptocurrency. My services include writing, ghost writing, and editing. The content could be nearly anything: research and analysis, internal or customer-facing documentation, policy and compliance documents, or articles for your corporate social media presence. I get genAI and sometimes leverage it as a tool, but I don't depend on it nor do I recommend that anyone use it as a prose "baseline." Most of my professional background has been in testing and securing software. My professional certifications in information security include ISC2's CSSLP, GIAC's GPEN and GXPN, and the Cloud Security Alliance's CCSK. I am also a Certified Blockchain Security Professional, Certified Smart Contract Developer, and a Certified Cryptocurrency Auditor (Blockchain Council). I held ISC2's CISSP certification for 18 years, but allowed that to expire in 2023. I keep up with security trends, but I am no longer in those trenches every day. I work with APIs, but I am not a master of every language nor a graceful developer. I am a U.S. citizen, live in the Central Standard time zone, and I perform services from the U.S. and Mexico. Let's discuss the possibilities.
