I have both professional and hobby-driven knowledge in nearly all things multimedia (specializing in technical documentation), technology, and business-related. I also have a very keen eye for quality assurance. I always put an incredible amount of efficiency and pride into my work. When you see something with my name attached to it, you'll know precision, thought, and years of experience were behind it. That's what I do, and that's who I am - both at work and outside of it.
I always look for the most efficient way to do things and am not hesitant to give constructive input as well as criticism. A consistent skill I bring to the table wherever I go is to look at a process and ask myself and my team: "How can this be improved?" I am not one who likes to waste time, and as such, I will always proactively work to create the best content I can in the most satisfactory time frame for the client.
I have a vast variety of skills in the Information Technology, Project Assistance, Technical Writing, and QA fields. I use my major (JLMC) to shape my writing to be as detailed as possible, but also straight to the point and professional. Meanwhile, my minor (Technical Communication) allows me to not only work with all types of media within IT, but also coincides with my hobby-based love of technology to produce very well-received work. Please see the rest of my profile for a complete and ever-expanding list of my professional skills. Examples of work can be provided upon request. You may always contact me at levicastle93@gmail.com. Thank you.
