ABOUT THE TECHNICAL PROOFREADER
Jim Fitzgerald has worked in many facets of the technology industry. His humble beginnings in Silicon Valley as a software engineer for Hewlett-Packard eventually led him to positions in marketing and sales before graduate school brought him back to software development and project management. He has programmed in many different languages and operating systems, from old mainframes to Windows desktops, and currently spends his time in Android and Windows mobile environments. While he considers himself more of a frontend guy, he will admit to dabbling with PHP and writing a lot of PL/SQL in the past when pressed.
When not investigating how technical things work, Jim spends his time as a bibliophile, avid artist and photographer, collecting far more books, paint brushes, and lenses than he can hope to use. Jim has a undergraduate BS degree from California Polytechnic, and a MS degree from Yale University.
