Currently, I write exclusively about the fibre optic communications industry, covering topics such as fibre cables, optical transport networks, optical support for 5G, photonics, coherent communications, etc. I also manage the rolling news feed on the Optical Communications website, produce four issues per year of Optical Connections magazine and support the Nexus Media Events team with the organisation of the European Conference on Optical Communications (ECOC) expo.

I specialised in the OSS/BSS market, researching and writing on a broad range of topics covering all aspects of telecoms-related software and IT. I also sub-edited copy in the peer-review system currently in place and I'm a stickler for using correct English.

During this time I wrote for just about any print and on-line publication relating to telecommunications you can think of. It also included two years writing for the Financial Times, a nine-year stint as a senior writer on CeBIT News and I wrote white papers and analysis for a wide range of companies associated with the telecoms industry.

I was editor of various telecoms-related newsletters, most of which are either closed down or, ironically enough, now owned by Informa Telecoms & Media. I also developed and implemented the company's on-line publishing strategy.

Birmingham, England, United Kingdom

Following a three-year apprenticeship, I worked in a variety of roles including automatic telephone exchange maintenance, CPE installation, fault control service, telex provision and private data network provisioning and maintenance. I gained several qualifications in telephony, network engineering and line plant practice.
