Thank You Salesforce…

no-limits-road-sign-260nw-72594046So this was my last week at Salesforce. For over a year, I had a blast working with some of the most talented writers and editors on the Trailhead team. We did some incredible things and it was a bit like riding on the top of a rocket ship. I’m super proud of all that I accomplished during my time with the team, but it’s time to move on.

What’s Next?

It is time for me to take a step back and return to the things that I really love the most- teaching people about technology and doing development work. I am already in talks with the fabulous people at Pluralsight about doing some new courses. I am also talking with other people about development work.

For the time being, I am just going to function as a freelance developer and author. I may consider accepting a full-time role in…

Illustrator Saturday – Khoa Le

Kathy Temean's avatarWriting and Illustrating

Khoa Le is a freelance illustrator, graphic designer, and painter based in Vietnam. She describes her work as whimsical, dark, yet vibrant and combines traditional and digital processes to create her final pieces. Based in Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam, Khoa is the author and illustrator of numerous picture books. In addition to her work in publishing, she has a few other side jobs such as graphic designer and painter. As a painter, she has participated in several groups and 2 solo exhibitions, in Vietnam and other Asian countries. Khoa is also a proud mom of 5 cats.

Her work can be described as whimsical, dreamy and with a bit of fantasy. She loves details and can draw a mean line-art, so if she was not an illustrator, she would probably be a tattoo artist.

She is the winner of the Grand Prize Samsung KidsTime Authors Award 2015 (Singapore) and the…

I’ve been writing on this blog for a very long time now, and was a great experience seeing so many people enjoy my writing. Every time you read my post it felt I was supported by a fellow friend. It has been such a pleasure that I want writing to be much more a part of my life, therefore I decided to look for projects to do freelance work on.

Even though I write mostly novels, essays and poetry on this blog, I am also available to do non-fiction. I have degrees in computer science and biology, so am able to write about technology as easily as I write poetry.

If you want to see an example of a specific style or genre, ask me and I’ll point you to a relevant piece of work I did. Please send any questions to disposablehelen@gmail.com

I am finally a freelance writer

It happened. I wrote an article and I was paid to do it. Albeit, I was only paid $10 and the article was small (300+ words), but any writer will understand that it’s a big deal to finally get paid for your work, especially when an opportunity for ongoing collaboration may be involved!

You can find the article in question at the Tutor’s Field website, where I recounted my experience studying abroad in England. It’s so strange seeing my own work posted on another site – and listed anonymously too!

But how did this freelancing come about!?

Last year I made it very clear I was having trouble even joining some freelance sites (a.k.a Upwork), which continue to maintain (even years later), that they are flooded with ‘too many writers’.
