Versatile, analytical, and detail-oriented writer, proficient in technical and creative text. Works mainly as a tech writer, successfully generating several hundred documents over the course of 15 years of a technology career, including manuals, FDA-regulated documents, and technical documents. I’ve been in the industry for over 10 years now, and as someone interested in the latest trends in technical writing, I'm always seeking new experiences. Your goal is to improve the end user's experience, and I would dedicate myself to making that my personal mantra. I started as a test engineer for several years after receiving my Master's in Software Engineering, then transitioned to freelance technical writing, working on project FDA documentation for companies such as Abbott Labs, Paychex, Motorola, and Amgen, including my regular employment. With several award-winning screenplays currently on the market, my writing experience reflects a passion for the film industry. I specialize in transforming editing nightmares and untangling even the most chaotic grammar disasters into clear, acceptable English.

In my current position as a Technical Writer I am responsible for all product documentation, which includes creating and maintaining documentation for the company’s proprietary software applications. My writing responsibilities include user guides, implementation guides, quarterly release notes, and other training documentation for end users. I also have extensive experience copywriting and proofreading; everything from company newsletters and presentations for senior management or potential clients, to coworkers’ interoffice communications. Any of my previous supervisors will attest to the fact that I am an extremely quick and proficient worker, even going as far to acclaim that work they assign me would take another employee three times as long. I love what I do and editing is something that comes easily to me, even when I wish I could turn it off in my brain (reason I have an aversion for subtitles). Having an extra set of eyes can turn something good into something great. Let me be the person who turns your project into something great.

Senior Technical Writer & Computer Engineer | Help Centers & Knowledge Bases I'm a senior technical writer with a computer engineering background who builds and owns complete documentation systems, not just individual docs. For my two most recent SaaS clients, I created help centers with hundreds of articles from scratch, as well as an interactive video certification program. Clients hire me when they want to hand off documentation entirely. I define the scope with your stakeholders, select and build the platform, write and structure every article, and keep it all up to date as your product evolves. I've delivered complete documentation sites in WordPress, GitBook, and Intercom, working directly with CEOs, VPs of Product, and Heads of Customer Success. I bring 13+ years of combined experience in computer engineering and technical writing, which means I don't need your engineers to translate for me. I understand systems the way the people who built them do: I learn your product hands-on, bring informed questions to developers and support teams, and write documentation that deflects support tickets instead of generating them. WHAT I DELIVER — Complete help centers and knowledge bases for SaaS platforms — API documentation — Quick start guides, user guides, and product manuals — Video certification and training programs — Documentation strategy: platform selection, information architecture, and scope HOW I WORK — I take ownership. You get a documentation partner, not a task-taker waiting for assignments. — I integrate all stakeholder feedback before publishing, and handle post-publish updates within 24 hours. — I have a proven Upwork track record of long-term contracts, because owning documentation is an ongoing relationship, not a one-off gig. If you want someone to own your documentation end-to-end, or need guidance on strategy before committing, message me and tell me about your product.
