My real-life name is Colin Hall. I am a retired electronics engineer and project manager. For many years I did not reveal my real-life identity on Wikipedia so that I could edit here without any concern over what my employers might think. Not that I have ever written anything about any company I worked for, or the products they make, except extremely tangentially. It was just that knowing an employer might be reading might subconciously colour my writing, which I did not want to happen. What I write is entirely for the purpose of improving Wikipedia, and I did not want any other consideration to creep in.
