Content engineering, XML processing and technical documentation are the fields I specialize in. My company Xatapult supports companies that either lack the knowledge or the capacity in these fields of expertise. I have a technical IT background. After 20 years working for several large and small companies, in jobs ranging from programmer to architect, I started my own consulting company in 2001. Starting 2009, I specialized in content engineering and XML. I am deliberately looking for projects on all levels: from consulting to application development. Actual experience is important in giving advice. My ability to explain things, either by providing training or writing technical documentation, is an important non-technical skill. I am the author of two XML technology related books.
