David Geer’s Experience
-
Writer, journalist specializing in technology
Geer Communications
(Writing and Editing industry)
January 2000 — Present (9 years 11 months)
If it calculates, communicates, or stores, I cover it. If it swipes, transmits, duplicates, or automates, I write about that, too. If it exists in the lab, sells on the shelf, or is hackable, crackable, modular, or combinable, then it is fair game and I have content samples surrounding those, as well.
I write about computers, networks, and the Internet. I cover high-tech, consumer electronics, and wireless. I specialize in data centers, IT, and emerging technologies. I have multiple work products about software, hardware, and technology services. I cover cloud computing, SaaS, and other hot topics. I generate a monthly column on robotics.
Materials, alloys, nanotechnology, medical technology, and the sciences each take their post as pillars of my creative efforts. -
