History of the PDF A pdf about... the history of the PDF. This was such a fun project to work on and it also got @sensiblehq to the front page of @newsycombinator. S/o to @nickwritesit for putting together the words and to Sensible for letting me unleash my inner David Carson

If you’d like to work together, I’m always open to conversation. I do a lot of ghostwriting work, which can’t be represented here, and content ranging across technical thought leadership, search-optimized articles and guides, white papers, and ebooks.

For @qase_io, I wrote Software Testing Lessons We Can Learn From Edge Cases, an article that’s part basics, part guide, part splashy tour of the most interesting minor disasters I could find.

For @stackblitz, I wrote Flow State: Why Fragmented Thinking Is Worse Than Any Interruption, and embraced my full research nerd by digging into dozens of studies about developer productivity and experience. Despite a noisy space, we came to an original POV
