Mr. Armstrong is a Portland Community College student seeking a two-year degree in Computer Information Systems. In addition to the two-year degree in computer information systems, he will be working towards numerous computer certifications to coincide with the degree.

Adam has a diverse work history and is currently a sales manager for an airplane parts brokerage company where he uses technical writing quite often for designing and creating quality control procedures, recording airplane parts and certifications. Adam also has used and continues to use technical writing in his educational classes at Portland Community College, using Microsoft Word and Word.

He foresees using technical writing to design computer user manuals, recording maintenance logs, and problems that might arise with computer programs.
