I help businesses turn complex ideas into clear, search-focused website content that people can understand, trust, and act on. With 270+ completed Upwork projects and a 100% Job Success Score, I bring proven experience across SEO content, on-page and technical SEO, WordPress content management, website copy, and product documentation. Clients hire me when they need content that is not just “written,” but properly researched, structured around search intent, aligned with their brand, and ready to perform. I can help with: • SEO blog posts and content refreshes • Website copy, landing pages, and service pages • Keyword research, content briefs, and internal-linking plans • On-page and technical SEO improvements • WordPress publishing, formatting, content updates, and ongoing site maintenance • Clear product documentation and knowledge-base content I use modern tools (including AI) efficiently, but every project still benefits from sound judgment: understanding the audience, matching search intent, improving clarity, checking the details, and delivering work that is genuinely useful.

I help companies turn complex products into clear documentation, scalable knowledge bases, and strong technical content. With 5+ years of experience, I’ve worked with 40+ companies across SaaS, B2B software, fintech, AI, robotics, EdTech, compliance, and operations-heavy products. My work spans both documentation systems and technical content writing, from knowledge bases, API docs, onboarding guides, and internal SOPs to technical blogs, product explainers, whitepapers, and thought leadership articles. Today, documentation does more than inform users. It also shapes how AI agents, copilots, chatbots, semantic search systems, and LLM-powered assistants understand your product. That’s why I focus on content that is clear for users, useful for teams, and structured well enough for AI systems to retrieve from reliably. What I help companies with User onboarding - helping users get set up and reach value faster Feature adoption - making key capabilities easier to understand and use Help centers and knowledge bases - reducing support load through stronger self-service API and developer documentation - making integrations easier to implement Internal documentation - SOPs, workflows, runbooks, and operational guides Technical blogs and articles - useful content for developers, technical buyers, and product users AI-powered support systems - improving retrieval quality for chatbots and support agents Why clients hire me I build systems, not just pages. I create structured knowledge systems that are easier to use, maintain, and scale. I can write for both users and technical audiences. That includes user guides, API docs, developer references, technical blogs, and product explainers. I make technical content useful, not bloated. Whether it’s a knowledge base article or a long-form blog, my goal is the same: make it clear, practical, and worth reading. I make documentation AI-ready. I help companies structure documentation so tools like Intercom Fin, Mintlify AI, Claude, Cursor, Codex, and other agent-based systems can retrieve and use knowledge more accurately. That often includes improving: Information architecture Structured Markdown Workflow documentation Troubleshooting paths Retrieval-friendly FAQs Machine-readable layers such as llms.txt, skill.md, and other agent-friendly documentation patterns Platforms and tools I work with Documentation / KB Platforms: Zendesk, Intercom, Mintlify, Confluence, GitBook, Document360, Freshdesk, Notion, Help Scout, Guru, Zoho Desk, Eniston, Helpjuice AI / Support Tools: Intercom Fin AI Agent, Zendesk AI, Freshdesk Freddy, semantic search systems, AI-assisted retrieval workflows Technical / Workflow Tools: Markdown, JSON, API documentation workflows, Git-based docs, Google Docs, Canva, Loom, screen recording tools Highlights of my experience I’ve helped companies such as McCain Foods, Phonely, Alternative Payments, Aragorn AI, Energy Robotics, Neword, ENTR Technologies, MenuLogic K12, Solaris Offgrid, Venue Smart, Qonnect, Compliance Scorecard, CodeRabbit, Stream, EloqData, and Cline. Examples of my work: 1. Phonely - built and maintained documentation for workflows, integrations, AI systems, and API usage; structured docs for both users and AI agents 2. Alternative Payments - led a multi-department documentation migration from Google Drive to GitBook across Finance, Sales, Customer Success, and Technical teams 3. Neword - created the Intercom knowledge base from scratch and helped train and optimize Intercom Fin AI Agent through simulations, response reviews, and knowledge gap fixes 4. Solaris Offgrid - worked as a Technical Support Engineer and Technical Writer, owning onboarding docs, support guides, troubleshooting content, and API documentation 5. CodeRabbit, EloqData, Stream, and Cline - wrote technical content covering software development, APIs, DevTools, AI workflows, and product education Services I offer Documentation & Knowledge Bases Help center creation and restructuring Knowledge base architecture User guides and onboarding flows Internal SOPs and runbooks API & Technical Documentation REST API documentation SDK and developer guides Integration and workflow documentation Release notes and technical updates Technical Content Writing Technical blog posts Product explainers Thought leadership content Whitepapers and technical articles AI-Ready Documentation Documentation structured for AI retrieval Support content for chatbots and agents Knowledge base optimization for self-service and AI support If you need someone who can create documentation, knowledge systems, API docs, and technical content/articles that actually helps people understand and use your product, I can help. Let’s turn your product knowledge into something clear, useful, and scalable.

🔴Regulatory documentation that stands up to Notified Body and Health Authority scrutiny — that’s the standard I work to 🔴. I’m a PharmD-trained EU/UK Regulatory Consultant and Medical Writer with hands-on experience bridging the gap between product science, clinical evidence, and regulatory requirements. I support medical device, supplement, nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, and healthcare companies in moving from concept to compliant, market-ready products. My background in formulation chemistry gives me an added scientific perspective. I don’t simply write regulatory documents; I understand what is in the product, how it is formulated and manufactured, how its claims are supported, and why these factors matter from a regulatory and compliance standpoint. This combination enables me to develop Clinical Evaluation Reports (CERs), MDR documentation, clinical and regulatory content, and supporting documentation that are scientifically robust, logically structured, evidence-based, and prepared with regulatory scrutiny in mind—not simply completed from generic templates. ✅ HOW I HELP CLIENTS 🔴EU/UK Regulatory Consulting CER development and review, MDR documentation, technical file support, regulatory strategy, and compliance assessments for medical devices. 🔴Formulation Support Ingredient, formulation, and product-development guidance for supplements, nutraceuticals, and healthcare products. 🔴Regulatory & Compliance Reviews Identifying scientific, clinical, regulatory, and documentation gaps before they become costly submission or market-access issues. 🔴Manufacturer & Supply Chain Research Researching and identifying suitable, compliant contract manufacturers and supply-chain partners across multiple markets. 🔴CORE SERVICES Medical Device & Regulatory Affairs ◆ Clinical Evaluation Reports (CER) ◆ Periodic Evaluation Reports (PER) ◆ Systematic Literature Reviews (SLR) ◆ State-of-the-Art (SOTA) reviews ◆ EU MDR/IVDR documentation ◆ Technical documentation and technical file support ◆ Health Canada regulatory support ◆ Regulatory strategy and gap assessments ◆ Submission remediation and compliance support 🔴Pharmaceutical Regulatory Writing ◆ IND / CTA / NDA / ANDA / BLA documentation ◆ CTD Modules 2–5 ◆ eCTD publishing support ◆ FDA 483 response documentation ◆ RTF / RTR / RTA remediation ◆ ODD documentation ◆ Statements of Non-Compliance ◆ GMP inspection report responses 🔴Cosmetics & Dietary Supplements ◆ MoCRA ◆ CPNP ◆ UK CPSR ◆ TGA cosmetics requirements ◆ Health Canada requirements ◆ FDA DSHEA ◆ EU dietary supplement notifications WHY CLIENTS HIRE ME Regulatory consulting is not simply about preparing documents or checking boxes. The science, formulation, clinical evidence, intended use, claims, safety profile, labelling, and regulatory strategy all need to tell a consistent and defensible story. That’s where my multidisciplinary background adds value. As a PharmD-trained professional with formulation expertise and experience across regulatory, clinical, medical, and safety functions, I can assess your project from both a scientific and regulatory perspective. Whether you’re a startup preparing your first EU MDR submission, a medical device company strengthening its CER, or an established supplement or healthcare brand seeking a formulation and compliance review before launch, I bring a practical, detail-oriented approach focused on producing documentation that is clear, scientifically defensible, and fit for regulatory review. MY APPROACH ✓ Scientifically grounded — Evidence and regulatory requirements come first. ✓ Detail-oriented — I focus on the gaps that can create problems later. ✓ Practical — Recommendations are aligned with your product and commercial objectives. ✓ Clear communication — No unnecessary complexity or unexplained regulatory jargon. ✓ Quality-focused — Documentation is prepared with regulatory scrutiny in mind. ✓ Deadline-conscious — Clear deliverables and realistic timelines from the outset. If you need a regulatory professional who understands both the science behind your product and the regulatory documentation required to support it, I’d be glad to discuss your project.
