Why publish my thoughts?

I formally retired from technical writing in July 2017, and as I have always had an interest in writing I thought I would write and publish articles of interest to me. My interests are broad, and include areas such as technology, agriculture, architecture, transportation and the environment. Although I'm publishing my thoughts primarily for my own benefit, I hope my articles will be of interest to others as well. It's a way to put forward my perspective on issues, and could also be considered a form of therapy.

Brief background

About 10 years before my retirement I contracted as a technical writer. This involved analysing, documenting and implementing policies, processes, procedures and product information for divisions of organisations in the banking and finance industry. Before contracting as a technical writer, I worked at a large Australian bank. My later years at the bank involved assisting with the implementation and support of a payment system to allow the bank to not only meet, but benefit from the compliance requirement to move to a system of real time gross payments between banks. This was a very rewarding and successful project.
