About Pamela Howell

I\'m an expert technical writer and senior business analyst, most often as a consultant, in the information security, DevOps, sysadmin, and mobility fields from Central NJ. I most often work for pharma, financial, telecom, and software development companies. I specialize in business analysis and technical writing and enjoy digging deep into almost any technology.My detailed knowledge of software development, financial, pharmaceutical, and telecom industries allows me to thrive in agile environments, with a team or standalone, on-site, remote, or hybrid.My teammates will tell you I love to get technical - I\'m not just a fluffy end-user guide writer. That said, I love to edit almost any type of writing, but I\'m happiest when being the first eyes on a release.I prefer my own information synthesized into pie charts and a 1.5-page summary, shown below. Enjoy!(Recruiters often require the long boring reverse chronological 6 pages, understood, even when their clients prefer the short form - go figure!)Specialties: Technical Writing, Business Analysis, Scrum Master, Information Security, DevOps, Agile Development, System Administration, UNIX/Linux Systems, Mobility, BYOD, Editing, Conference Organizing, Community Conferences, Social Media.
