I was chief editor on this domain for nearly three years (2014-17), pulling it out from a terminal traffic trough and through a complete site migration and re-imagining. The site was regularly featured on the likes of Slashdot, Hacker News and Fark.
Since the project had a very small staff, my own writing contribution was extensive. I also commissioned and edited features. Additionally I liaised with the marketing and sales departments, and undertook overseas travel to promote the property.

Ghost-Writing
I maintain a very full monthly schedule of regular bylined work, but occasionally I undertake ad hoc ghost-writing commissions, around 800-1500 words, in areas with which I am most familiar, such as image synthesis, deepfakes, synthetic data, societal ramifications of AI and machine learning, dataset culture, big data, and other closely-related topics.
Most
of these pieces are thought-leadership articles for CTOs and CEOs, and the C-suite class in general. I am not likely to undertake ghost-written SEO work such as lists, how-tos, etc. - and in any case, such a commission would not be economically viable, since I charge a high premium for re-attributed content of this kind.
