In addition to writing articles, books, and fiction, I ghostwrite contributed technical articles for electronics magazines. I came to this specialization well-prepared: I was an editor for Electronic Engineering Times for three years, so I know what editors want in technical articles. Also, I am a contributing editor for the iAppliance Web, writing a column on computer and network security (Security Sentinel).
Some of my clients for technical articles and white papers include: Agenda Computing, Altera, ANT Limited, ARM Limited, Atheros Communications, CAD-UL, General Microsystems, Green Hills Software, IBM, LVL7 Systems, Innoveda (Viewlogic), Lucent Microelectronics, Mentor Graphics, Microchip Technology, Model Technology, Motorola, NEC, Pluris, Radlan Inc., Sharp Microelectronics, Tektronix, Texas Instruments, TranSwitch, Veribest Systems, WebTrends, and Wind River Systems.
