    Been Busy

    I'm no lazy updater, just a busy, busy man. Currently in another 9-to-5 as a Web Specialist at the Union of Concerned Scientists, plus steady contract work for Redfin, Matter Network and Magnetk.

    Still, I'm hoping to get the relevent updates posted onto the page sometime this week, with an updated resume, and a new engine for the blog. Wordpress is great, but way overbig for what I need here.

    Publications Revamp

    Added my regular freelance writing positions to the publication section, and bumped the list of selected publications further down the page. Be sure to check out the new real estate writing gig, too.

    The Portfolio

    I completely revamped the portfolio section this past weekend, adding modal windows to allow immediate access to my writing samples. I rolled the portfolio into its own directory as well, which should improve overall site navigation.

    Upgraded to

    I've redone my resume in LaTeX, the fantastic open-source typsetting system, and updated my skills list accordingly. LaTeX's got a bit of a learning curve, but the effort saved in formatting longer or more complex documents will be well worth it.

    Face Lift

    I've given the main index and projects pages a bit of a reworking, and added some verbosity. I also replaced the "blog" link in the tabs above with a link that returns to the homepage.

    Hopefully, these modifications will look nice and simplify getting around. I'm making a conscious effort to clean the place up a bit as I prepare to leave Comverse in search of the next step in my career.

    Projects Page

    The projects page, which details my current independent work, has finally been added to the site. No more blacked-out link on the splash screen!

    Welcome!

    Hello, and welcome to my professional page. I created it to provide a comprehensive listing of my professional interests and career goals, to showcase my marketable skills, and to provide a convenient index to the work I've already completed.

    Feel free to explore the tabs above and learn more about my career. I've made an effort to limit the number of hyperlinks in the text of this page, so to learn more about any of the material you find here, please consult the external links listed in the sidebar.

    This main page will remain relatively static over time, cataloging only major changes in my professional life, so for more frequent updates in my career (and to see that I do indeed have a sense of humor) please check out my blog.

    Thanks for visiting!
