Call me crazy, but I like things that flow, engage, inform, and capture (both attention and leads).
My modus operandi is turning complex ideas into content that actually works. By "works" I mean "enabling conversations" -- between developers and CTOs, IT admins and CIOs, CEOs and CTOs, etc... B2B content is all about greasing the wheels.
I’m a newspaper journalist turned content writer and strategist with a knack for making deeply technical stories feel simple, human, and useful. Whether it’s helping a B2B startup find its voice or turning product docs into demand-gen gold, I don’t just write — I build content that moves the needle.
I work far beyond content layout. That means I think like a marketer, editor, and end user all at once — shaping everything from voice and tone to narrative flow and CTA strategy. I specialize in content that supports the full funnel: SEO blogs that convert, white papers that get read, and messaging frameworks that teams actually use.
I've helped companies like Volt Active Data, Pure Storage, Google, and Salesforce communicate better — and get results.

The shift to sustainable travel modes like electric vehicles (EVs), carpooling, and public transit, has made travel times more varied.

Data centers use an estimated 200 terawatt hours (TWh) of electricity annually, equal to roughly 50% of all electricity currently used for all global transport, and a worse-case-scenario model troublingly predicts that data centers alone could account for roughly 8% of global electricity consumption by 2030. This may seem shocking to some.

Few historical images are more iconic than the ones of NASA's lunar modules landing on the surface of the moon. These modules allowed astronauts to make exploration history.
