I'm a Senior Technical Writer with 17+ years of experience crafting developer documentation, API references, and user guides across defense, data analytics, healthcare, and SaaS industries.
My passion lies at the intersection of development and communication—building bridges between complex technologies and the people who use them. I love getting my hands dirty with code and then stepping back to explain it all with clarity and empathy.
What I bring to the table:
Documentation: API References, Developer Guides, User Manuals
Tools: MadCap Flare, Hugo, DITA/XML, Markdown, OpenAPI
Code: C#, JavaScript, SQL, Python, Bash
Philosophy: "Great code deserves equally great documentation"
