Our Team

Matthew continues the family involvement in TechWriter, the company founded by his father Michael in 1992. His focus is on identifying and developing new client relationships. Matthew also manages a number of existing client accounts, particularly in the areas of aviation and defence.

You may have met Matthew at one of his presentations to industry associations such as the Australian Industry Defence Network, or Australian Society of Technical Communication (NSW).

Matthew's previous experience includes Lecturer, School of Economics at the University of NSW; Research Officer for the Australian and International Pilots Association, and Consultant for the Centre for Asia Pacific Aviation. He holds a Phd in Economics from UNSW.

Matthew takes pleasure in good cooking and wine, particularly jammy shirazes. It's a good thing that he is also a regular surfer and ocean marathon swimmer, and gets to work off all that good food!

Lyneve was formerly a freelance editor. She has spent over 20 years working with writers and all kinds of documents from training materials to poetry and literature. (Poetry is a favourite genre.)

At TechWriter, Lyneve takes a problem solving approach to recruitment. "I find the job description is always an abstract two dimensional perspective on the role," she says. "In reality, I find people are multidimensional with ongoing, future and past issues and needs."

To bridge this gap, Lyneve talks to candidates and clients to understand them as people. One of our candidates said:

"Lyneve actually asked me what I wanted to do and what I would be interested in, and then pulled out jobs that she thought suited me, rather than trying to get me to suit the job. She really made me feel good about my skills, and I felt like I wasn't underselling myself for once."

Lyneve has held a number of roles including Production Manager for Halstead Press, and Learning Skills Advisor and Lecturer for the University of Western Sydney. She has also developed curriculum and training materials used to teach Japanese preschool students English.

Lyneve holds a BA(Hons) in English Literature and Philosophy and has just completed a Masters in Editing and Publishing at Macquarie University.

Noelia worked in the HR area for six years in Argentina before coming to Australia in late 2008.

After helping for three months as a volunteer while improving her English, Noelia is now part of the TechWriter team.

She has a Bachelor Degree in HR and holds a post-graduate Diploma in Management Development, and can speak Spanish as well as English.

One of Noelia's passions is teaching and thus she worked as an Auxiliary Teacher at the University of Buenos Aires "Having the opportunity to teach and help others at the Uni was something I've always wanted to do".
