About Me
I’m Matthew Connatser, I’m a technical writer and former journalist. Most of my career has been focused on writing news articles about semiconductors, artificial intelligence, and other technology happenings, but I am now a technical writer for Signal65, where I write about similar topics.
From 2018 to 2022 I studied at the University of Tennessee and achieved a bachelor’s degree with a major in history and a minor in linguistics. My main areas of focus were in early medieval Islamic and European history, Romance languages, and fundamental linguistic principles.
