I'm a writer, in the topic of computer software. I specialize in text about the open-source database MySQL. I've written articles for several magazines and the book MySQL in a Nutshell (O'Reilly Media 2004). It's been translated into German, Japanese, and Polish. I'm also an editor for the knowledge base of MySQL AB.
