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.

You know your technology product better than anyone who’ll ever write about it. That’s exactly why most content you’ve been handed has probably fallen flat. It’s either too shallow to survive a read from your own engineers, or it’s technically accurate and completely lifeless — smart-sounding, probably AI-generated, and missing the thing that actually gets a buyer to act. I’m Stephen. I help B2B technology companies create content that feels human, sounds credible, and actually gets people to buy your product. I started as a software developer, spent time in cybersecurity, and have spent the last decade learning how people inside complex technology organizations actually decide to buy. When we work together, I write with your brand heart in mind—what you stand for—not just translating a spec sheet. AI can write a competent paragraph in seconds. What it can’t do is sit with your product long enough to know what actually matters to the person deciding whether to buy it. I use AI to speed up research and early structure. That’s also what a long-term engagement with me looks like. I don’t write one piece and disappear. I learn your product inside out and build a voice for it that holds up over years—not just one deliverable. Netmore Group is the clearest proof of that. I’ve been their sole embedded content partner for over six years—since they were a small Swedish startup, through 10+ acquisitions and expansion across three continents. Domain authority grew from under 15 to 43+. One flagship whitepaper is now cited in multi-million-dollar utility pipeline conversations. My video script, “LoRaWAN in a Nutshell,” has more than 35,000 organic views on YouTube. That’s what happens when you actually know a product. I also write technical content for Provectus AI on RAG pipelines, LLM observability, and agent architecture — work trusted at the CTO level — and have delivered for SAP, ABB, and Hitachi. What I can help you with: • Technical white papers and research reports *Content Strategy *Humanizing AI Content • Case studies and use-case content • Thought leadership • Video scripts • Editorial systems and content calendars Send me your brief or book a quick 20-minute call to discuss your needs. I usually reply within minutes.
