About Jay Andrew Allen

I’m a freelance technical writer and consumer writer based in Seattle, WA. Writing has been my passion ever since I was 12 years old and I “borrowed” my mother’s Strunk & White. (Returning it any day now, mom. Promise.) Since 2004, I’ve been combining my love of words with my technical knowledge and Internet savvy to produce content for diverse audiences.

My 5+ year career as a technical writer and programmer/writer includes writing documentation for Microsoft’s Visual Studio and Exchange Server products, as well as for Glosten and Associate’s ballast management software system. I continue to write content for non-technical end users, programming hobbyists, and high level software architects alike.

As a consumer writer, I’ve produced and promoted great writing for sites such as ParentDish (formerly Blogging Baby) and Strollerderby. I am an expert in WordPress, having developed several plug-ins for the platform, and am experienced with a number of other content management systems.
