I am a semi-retired software product manager, business consultant, and senior ops manager for global tech companies. My interests include technology, genealogy, photography and music, and you'll find a little of each in this content. I am passionate about writing technical guides that are accessible for non-technical people. Jargon can't be avoided but it can be demystified. I hope you find the content useful.
