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

I specialise in making complex information clear and considered — 3D cutaways, technical schematics, infographics, data visualisation, whitepaper layout, and presentation design. Whether the brief is an F1 suspension exploded view or a property marketing brochure, the approach is the same: strong hierarchy, tight grids, and visuals that actually communicate.
A decade of experience across publishing, tech, and property marketing. I work in Cinema 4D, Redshift, InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, After Effects and Figma.

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.

I'm a visual communications designer with a rare combination: I design the materials and build the learning behind them. Most graphic designers can't structure instruction; most instructional designers can't produce professional, print-ready design. I do both, backed by degrees in visual communications and computer animation, plus over 15 years of professional production experience.
My background isn't template-based design. I spent nearly a decade in the sign industry designing all types of signs, running large-format printers, RIP software, manual vectorization, and technical graphics for permit applications. That's work where files have to be right, not just pretty. Later, as Design Lead at a dental tech startup, I created CAD/CAM training materials and trained onshore and offshore teams remotely.
I know how to make complex things clear when you can't be in the room to explain them.
What I Do:
✨ Instructional Design: Training manuals, workbooks, SOPs, user guides, tutorial content, learning resources
✨ Technical Illustration & Documentation: Process docs, workflow guides, technical graphics, vectorization
✨ Graphic Design: Presentations, pitch decks, brochures, white papers, proposals, sales materials
✨ Infographics & Visual Content: Data visualization, information design, visual storytelling
✨ Brand & Layout: Logos, visual identity, corporate communications, product sheets
✨ Print & Digital Production: Print-ready PDFs, production files, high-res graphics for any medium
My Approach:
User-centered. I start with what your audience needs to understand, then structure content and visuals for clarity. Marketing that persuades, training that teaches, documentation people actually reference.
Tools:
Adobe Creative Suite (InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, Acrobat), Figma, Google Slides, PowerPoint, Word, Google Workspace, Miro, Notion
U.S.-based, responsive, and experienced with real production constraints. Editable source files included.
