Nikki Hegstrom:
jammy & complex | relentlessly resilient

web manager & developer | editor & proofreader

As a web manager, I bring 20+ years of development experience to helping companies build and maintain sites, find efficient solutions, and troubleshoot everything from site issues to databases to email newsletters and beyond. I’m well-versed in web programming languages, and know enough of things like SQL, LINUX, C++, etc. to be dangerous, as they say (or rather, I know enough to be able to fix and change things).

As an editor & proofreader, I’ve worked on a growing list of books on such topics as Linux, Professional C++, and time series forecasting methods in Python. I’ve also written “how-to” blog posts for companies that offer cloud-based analytics—as a former tech trainer, I’m especially good at explaining technical concepts to the layperson. I don’t *only* work with technical content, however. I’ve also edited nonfiction books, bilingual (French/English) product packaging, online content (newsletters, blog posts), and academic writing. I’m a “multipotentialite,” who dives deep into the many, many things that interest me; I’m thoroughly knowledgeable on neurobiology and neuropsychology, neurotypes (ADHD, autism, giftedness, and various mental disorders), world languages (I speak a million of them), European continents and travel (I’ve lived there), cooking/baking, life sciences, art (medieval art is my jam), world literature (I regularly read novels in French, Italian, German, and Spanish… and am working on Russian), theoretical immigration issues, the politics of urban space… to name a few.

And, if you can’t tell… I love my dogs, two Czech working line German Shepherds. (I love my husband and kid, too, but I believe in giving them privacy, so you won’t see them too often.)
