Edits every Homecalcly guide and calculator page before it goes live.

Khuwalid Khalid is the editor at Homecalcly. Every guide and calculator page passes through him before it's published.

His job is the unglamorous part: working each example through by hand to make sure it matches what the calculator returns, checking that every rule of thumb points to a source a reader can open, and cutting anything that sounds confident but isn't backed up. When a reader writes in about a number that looks off, he's the one who checks it.
