Resume
Richardson Akande
Travel, Tech, Business and Finance Writer-
Summary
I am a seasoned full-time freelance writer with an eye for details in breaking news stories and trending events. I have a distinct understanding of developing trends and an unequal potential to connect news stories to create a uniquely different narrative.
I write extensively on travel and leisure, gaming, tech, cyber security, cloud and data warehousing. I can write convincingly on all known niches to delight worse critics. With style that is easy to read, clear and impeccable grammar, I’m expert in the art of bringing out the best in every article I write.
I also have a specialty in writing about how to invest for the long-term in healthcare, pharmacology, energy and technology stocks. My long-term focus is on stocks that provide a nice mix of growth and income. For traders, i write passionately about stock trading, commodities trading, Forex trading, and options trading for the exciting volatility of the financial markets.
International economics also interests me and I write on how international events are likely to affect individual stocks, specific industries, the general market direction and the economies of the concerned countries.
Most of my works are ghostwritten with non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) signed. However, I have some works in my name on blasting news; a fast growing online news website with traffic running into three digit millions monthly.
