I am an Austin, Texas writer and editor with 15 years
of experience developing a variety of technical and non-technical
documents. I've written for audiences ranging from the highly
technical to the mostly clueless and covered a broad spectrum of
topics, including:
- B2B enterprise solutions
- Online newsfeed syndication
- Online learning infrastructure
- Bioinformatics
- Electronic component configuration tools
- Animation and game development tools
- Environmental compliance documentation
I've written installation and configuration manuals, procedural guides,
user guides, reference material and online help, as well as web content and
product literature. In my spare time I run a shop in Second Life, and I
sometimes edit and proofread English subtitles for Asian TV dramas.
I see it as my job not just to write accurate, easy-to-follow
procedures, but also to work closely with developers to improve
the software itself. As one of the first people to see a new
product, I'm in an ideal position to spot potential issues early
on.
I'm currently available for a permanent or contract position. Please
