The preceding text is from an article I created containing a autobio of myself contributed so I can link it to other articles, already posted on Wikipedia, concerned with companies or projects, in which I made a significant contribution. I welcome any advice concerning anything I need to modify or add to bring it into line with Wikipedia guidelines.

Thanks.
