I proofread and copyedit manuscripts that have to be right — academic papers, journal submissions, and technical and software documentation. I work to whichever style guide you name: APA, Chicago, AP, or a journal's own submission guidelines. I check facts and sources as I go, not just grammar. Where a manuscript was drafted with AI assistance, I catch what that introduces — terminology that's almost right, citations that don't resolve, code samples that don't run, and confident claims that don't survive contact with the thing being described. The technical background is what makes that possible. Four decades in software — full-stack web, operating-system internals, device drivers, data communications — plus a book for Addison-Wesley, Writing Windows Device Drivers, later licensed and translated into Russian, and a feature in Microsoft Systems Journal on automated testing procedures. I can edit a STEM paper or an API reference without needing the subject explained to me. I've been editing Wikipedia for twenty years under the same username — 3,277 public, reviewable edits, most of them this kind of work: grammar and punctuation, citation formatting, factual precision and sourcing. Happy to point you at them.

Fixed-price or hourly. I work to deliverables and deadlines rather than fixed weekly schedules.
