I’m so excited to have you here at the Compton Scatter!
I’m Jim, a journalist by training (and by passion). I fell into the Localization Industry as a “localization engineer” right after college in the early 1990s. Here I became involved in the application of technology in service to language barrier challenges.
The world has changed so much since then, but I assert that the intersection of technology, language, content, and global business is as interesting and relevant a space as ever.
Over my career I’ve had the privilege to meaningfully engage with interested folks on such topics through blogs, podcasts, webinars, and the like.
This is what I endeavor to continue to do here.
I’ll be collating and releasing historical materials here (branded as “Compton Classics”) when I find them still relevant, and will be authoring new material in order to accomplish two things:
- Provide insights and analyses that are materially helpful to everyone who might benefit.
- Engage with folks who are also interested in these topics in service to elevating the conversation, driving progress, and “floating all boats.”
Please enjoy, and I look forward to engaging with you!
Please connect with me over LinkedIn and come say hi if we happen to cross paths in the Prime Material Plane.
-Jim
