Hi, my name is Alex and I'm a recent graduate from Virginia Tech with a B.A. in English, majoring in Professional and Technical Communication. My strengths are in science communication and in software-related fields. I am moderately experienced in coding and other aspects of modern software development. I'm skilled in semantic markup and general editing as well, and have the bulk of my technical documentation experience in DITA and other XML markup frameworks, though I am very familiar with markdown, and I am not beholden to my preferred method of documentation. I am familiar with C++, JavaScript, Python, and HTML/CSS I'm also fluent in French at a bilingual proficiency, and have a working knowledge of Spanish.
