COI declarations and information
From time to time, I will suggest edits to the page for NPR, where I was employed as a software engineer. As with all of my edits, I try my best to take a neutral point of view, free of marketing and advertorial content. I provide third-party citations needed for verification to the extent possible. I welcome any edits and feedback from the Wikipedia community in regards to my edits and suggested edits.
