I have completed my Master's Degree in Computer Science Engineering & have worked as a WordPress/PHP developer in India.
For the last few years, I worked full-time in a leadership role in SaaS marketing, where I built content strategies, managed writers, and delivered documentation and marketing content for product launches. I’m now back on Upwork and ready to take on new client projects with the same level of ownership and quality.
I create clear, compelling, and technically accurate content that helps SaaS and tech companies improve search & AI-driven visibility, increase user adoption, and support revenue-focused marketing goals. With 10+ years of experience across AI, cloud, WordPress, cybersecurity, and tech businesses, I specialize in writing content that is both deeply technical and highly engaging.
✅ What I Deliver
Every piece I create is optimized for clarity, search performance, and business goals. My work is always grounded in solid technical understanding.
- SEO- and AEO-optimized blogs, articles, and landing pages
- Technical writing and SaaS documentation
- Product copy, newsletters, and email campaigns
- Content planning, editing, and proofreading
- Marketing content strategy and execution
- eBooks, whitepapers, and long-form content
- Video scripts
✅ Industries & Topics I Specialize In
I enjoy writing about cutting-edge technologies and digital products, particularly in areas where clarity and engagement are key. Some of my favorite subjects include:
- Cloud & Infrastructure: AWS, Azure, Office 365, Networking, Cloud Services
- Emerging Technologies: Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, NLP, RPA, AR/VR
- Web & Software: WordPress themes and plugins, software modules, apps, digital products
- Security & Blockchain: Cybersecurity, Blockchain, ICOs
- Services & eCommerce: Digital services, marketplaces, online stores & client-facing content
What You Can Expect From Me
- Plagiarism-free write-ups
- 100% human-crafted, research-backed content (unless your requirement states otherwise)
- Clean, accurate writing free of grammatical, factual, or structural errors
- SEO and AEO optimization built into every piece
- Content tailored to your audience, brand voice & business goals
- Strategic thinking, proactive communication & reliable delivery
- Content that delivers value to readers and supports conversions for your business
Tools & Tech I Work With
I’m highly tech-savvy and comfortable using a wide range of AI and non-AI tools to improve quality, efficiency, and accuracy across content workflows. These include:
SEO tools: Ahrefs, SEMrush, Moz, Surfer, RankMath, Yoast
AI tools: ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini (strictly for research, ideation & QA -- and sometimes for generating visuals)
Quality & analysis tools: Grammarly, DeepL, Hemingway, Linguix, originality & structure checkers
Localization & rewriting: DeepL, localization QA tools
Project management: Notion, Trello, Asana, ClickUp, HubStaff and BaseCamp
Documentation tools: Confluence, GitBook, Google Workspace, MS 365
I am available 40 hours a week. I am confident in managing end-to-end content projects, mentoring content teams, and creating outputs that resonate with audiences and drive business impact.
Looking forward to working with you :)
Thanks and Regards,
Shivanshi

Most SaaS and API companies don't have a writing problem, they have an ownership problem. AI generates drafts, engineers push updates, someone creates a docs drafts, and suddenly your technical documentation is outdated, your support team is still fielding the same questions, and nobody's accountable.
I fix that. Whether you need a one-time project done right or a technical writer to own your documentation long-term, I treat every engagement like a product, not a task.
I'm an Expert-Vetted technical writer with 7+ years of experience and a background in software engineering. I've helped 100+ SaaS and API-first companies cut support tickets by 50% and increase product adoption by 80% by building documentation that stays accurate, useful, and scales with the product.
What I can take off your plate:
✅ API Documentation: REST, OpenAPI, Webhooks, Auth, SDKs
✅ SaaS Documentation & Product Guides
✅ Help Center & Knowledge Base Architecture
✅ Developer Portals & Developer Documentation
✅ AI Product Documentation & Integration Guides
✅ User Manuals, Tutorials & Onboarding Documentation
✅ Documentation Audits, Revamps & Content Gap Analysis
✅ Technical Blogs, Whitepapers & Explainers
Why not just use AI?
You can, and you probably have. The problem isn't generating content. It's that AI writes but doesn't own. It doesn't know when something breaks, when a new feature changes a workflow, or when a user manual is quietly misleading your customers.
I use AI where it adds speed, like drafts, code samples, and consistency checks. I apply my own judgment where it matters, bringing my expertise to strategy, structure, technical accuracy, and accountability. You get documentation that moves faster than hiring an agency and is more reliable than running on AI alone.
How I work:
1️⃣ Audit your existing technical documentation and surface gaps costing you users
2️⃣ Define a content architecture and documentation strategy before writing a word
3️⃣ Write precise, workflow-driven content, no filler, no feature dumps
4️⃣ Deliver on time, with clear communication throughout
5️⃣ For clients who want ongoing coverage, I scale the engagement, keeping documentation current as the product evolves
I work directly with engineering, product, DevRel, and founders. I'm proficient with Readme, Docusaurus, Mintlify, Fumadocs, Stoplight, GitBook, Swagger, and Postman, and I integrate into your team via Slack or Microsoft Teams from day one.
If you want a technical writer who takes genuine ownership of your documentation and stays accountable for the results, let's talk.

Most technical writers haven't shipped the product they're documenting. I have.
I'm a backend engineer (Python, Django, distributed systems at Deloitte USI) and the solo founder of APIEngine — a developer-focused BaaS where I wrote every endpoint, every doc page, and every SDK guide myself. So when I write API documentation for your team, I'm writing it the way I'd want to read it as the developer integrating it at 2am.
My approach: Explanation first. Marketing second.
Complex systems get broken into structured, step-by-step guides developers can actually follow — not marketing copy dressed up as documentation.
What I write:
- API documentation (REST, OAuth, JWT, webhooks)
- SDK guides and integration walkthroughs
- Developer portals and reference docs
- Technical blog posts (backend systems, AI, architecture)
- System design and architecture write-ups
Stack I write about with real fluency:
Python, Django, DRF, FastAPI · Node.js · PostgreSQL, Redis · GCP, Docker · REST, OAuth 2.0, JWT · OpenAPI/Swagger · Markdown, GitHub
Why this matters for your project:
I won't ask your engineers to explain what JWT is. I won't write docs that need a second pass to fix technical inaccuracies. I won't pad word counts. I'll ask the questions a developer would actually have, and write the doc that answers them.
Check the portfolio below for live samples — APIEngine's documentation, published technical articles on Medium and unite.ai, and paid client work for Polotno and Getint. If you're building a developer-facing product and need documentation that reduces support tickets instead of generating them, send me the brief. I'll tell you within a day whether I'm the right fit.
