Career Profile

I am a Technical Writer and UX Writer who creates and maintains different kinds of content while naturally integrating with varying kinds of software-development teams. I easily engage with different types of stakeholders to get the information that I need. I create various types of content, for example, user guides, technical descriptions, embedded documentation, and user-interface copy (UI copy). My content is designed for different types of audiences, ranging from beginners to experts in various professions.

To create, I use different languages, systems, and apps, for example, Markdown, Visual Studio Code, XML, Contentful, SCHEMA ST4, Git, Obsidian, Google Docs, Slack, and Microsoft 365.

My expertise lies in simplifying the complicated so that anybody can understand the contents.

I use standards and frameworks to write briefly and consistently to make humans quickly and thoroughly understand what they read and need.
