Computer science and engineering career as a technology professional and senior manager. A key requirement of these roles has been the reviewing, editing and distilling of complex technology terminology into understandable, succinct and impactful documentation working with scientists, R&D and engineering teams. This has included tenders, grants, technical documentation, white papers, scientific publications and sales and marketing material.

Assisted with policy and programme development and worked with inventors, scientists and engineers to develop tender, grant and funding applications for government grant programs. This included over 100 applications a year that required review, editing and input across biotechnology and medical, information technology, energy and natural resources, mining and advanced manufacturing.
