I'm an Upwork Expert Vetted freelancer placing me in this platform's top 1% of freelancers. I am also a subject matter expert (SME) in digital identity management and cybersecurity. All of my writing is my own, I do not use GenAI to create content. I deliver domain expertise on complex technology subjects, creating knowledge-led, evidence-based, engaging, and readable tech content that interests readers. My content is rich, while meeting the requirements for robust SEO and GEO. I have created content for many startups to develop their website and position them with a recognized domain presence. As one of the most influential women in technology in the UK in 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024 (Computer Weekly), I have the background to understand your products quickly. I use this knowledge to create a domain expert voice for C-level and management. My key areas of focus are cybersecurity, authentication and authorization, online identity, data privacy, security awareness training, and regulatory compliance. I regularly write on topics that impact the financial sector, such as money laundering, fraud, identity, KYC/CDD, AML, open banking, and financial regulations. Areas covered include emerging technologies and regulatory compliance, such as HIPAA, GDPR, ISO 27001, and PSD2 / PSD3. I have columns in CSOOnline and CyberNews. I am also published in IoTforAll, Electronics 360, and Information Age. My versatility comes from having spent much time in start-up companies and being responsible for creating sales, marketing, and technical collateral that helped sell products to international clients. I have worked in the software industry for over 20 years. Before that, I taught science and worked in industry as a chemist. The content that I create includes the following: * Articles and blog posts, * White papers, * Market analysis and research, * Case studies and, * Short ebooks. Audience engagement and readability are vital skills for a writer. I take technically complex subjects and make them digestible for a business audience: I am an alumnus of the "Story for Screenwriting" course by the John Yorke Story Institute.

At the executive level, the resume is the smallest problem. What decides a senior hire is whether one account of your work holds up across the resume, the profile, the referral conversation, and the interview. When those four disagree, the reader believes the weakest one. My clients here are executives in transition and senior technical professionals: staff and principal engineers, scientists, technical founders whose scope outgrew their resume three roles back. Two patterns come up constantly. The first is a VP whose resume still reads like their director years, longer and busier but no more senior. The second lands hardest on technical candidates, where a staff engineer's resume sells execution to a committee that is hiring for judgment. The order of operations is the method. Positioning gets settled first: what you are being hired to be, what evidence proves it, what to cut. Only then does anything get rewritten. You work with me directly from intake through delivery, no junior writers and nothing outsourced, and the scope is fixed before we start. I hold the CPRW credential from the PARWCC, earned in September 2023. Raleigh Resume has delivered 750+ client engagements since 2023, from mid-career specialists to first-time board candidates. The rest of the record sits on this page in the job history and the client feedback, which will tell you more than another paragraph of adjectives. One question tells you whether we should work together. Does your resume describe the job you are leaving or the one you mean to hold next? If it is the first, send the posting you are aiming at along with your current file, and we will start there.
