Software Engineer and Technical Publishing Professional
What I'm looking for
I work in technical publishing as a LaTeX typesetter, helping transform dense, highly technical manuscripts into clean, readable books—with a focus on TeX/LaTeX workflows, math and code layouts, indexing, and bibliographies. I enjoy the craft side of this work: polishing edge cases, managing complex structures, and collaborating with editors and proofreaders to make sure the final product feels solid. Alongside publishing, I'm actively building my software skills—studying JavaScript, TypeScript, Go, and modern web development with an eye toward technical education, tooling, and developer experience. I like bridging the gap between the written technical world and the hands-on coding world, and I'm continuously learning in both directions. I currently do production work with Manning Publications.
