I help SaaS, businesses, and tech teams build and maintain effective documentation by creating SOPs that cut onboarding time in half, API guides that reduce integration errors, and knowledge bases that stop support teams from answering the same question several times a day. What I Do: I create documentation that support your software and business processes: • Internal operations: SOPs, process docs, training manuals, workflow playbooks • User enablement: Knowledge bases, help centers, user guides, troubleshooting docs • Business documentation: Process documentation, system architecture docs, technical reports • Developer docs: API guides and integration tutorials Why Hire Me: I bring 4 years of SEO writing and content strategy plus 3 years of project and product management experience for the good of your project. While I have spent a good number of years focused on traffic and conversions, I am now passionate about adoption, support ticket reduction, and operational efficiency. I’ve built wireframes, written user stories, and collaborated with engineering, product, and ops teams and now, I understand how users/employees think and how products scale. Clients Include: • Terryberry – Documented 5-product employee engagement platform in Product Fruits • Wrangle – Comprehensive docs for Slack-integrated ticketing platform • Mixam – Cross-departmental workflow documentation for print-on-demand platform • Lumiform, CareerSidekick, BitFans – B2B SaaS technical content You Should Hire Me If: ✓ Your team outgrew “just ask someone” and needs documented processes ✓ Your support inbox is drowning in repeat questions ✓ You need documentation for product launches or feature releases ✓ You’re scaling operations and need systems documented fast (5-7 days, not weeks) ✓ Your API docs are outdated and developers integrate incorrectly How I Work: Fast delivery, regular updates, revision-friendly. I use AI-augmented research for speed and human-refined writing for accuracy. Platform-agnostic: Notion, Confluence, Loom, GitBook, GitHub, Zendesk, Product Fruits, Canva, Claude—whatever you use. Ready to fix your documentation problem? Click “Invite to Job” or message me with: 1. What needs documentation 2. Who uses it (developers, end users, internal teams) 3. Your timeline Or, you know, a “Hello” works too :) ! I’ll respond within 24 hours.

Whatever your documentation requirements are, chances are I have met them during the course of my career. With over 20 years as a Technical Writer I have a wealth of knowledge and experience in both the software and hardware industry. I have created user, admin, quick start, and integrator guides, as well as drafted API documentation. I have experience with both online help systems, and PDF manuals. I have also worked with many different authoring tools, including Document 360, MadCap Flare, FrameMaker, Arbortext, and Microsoft Word, as well as project management tools like Confluence and Jira. If you are looking for an experienced, serious, and dedicated professional, I would be happy to discuss your project needs.

Your product is good, but if customers can't figure it out on their own, if your blog reads like it was written by whoever had ten minutes free, or if your onboarding video looks like an afterthought, none of that matters. Documentation, content, and video are all part of how customers judge whether your company has its act together, and most small and mid-sized software companies can't get all three done well without hiring three different people. I'm one person who covers all three: technical documentation, technical content writing, and video production, for B2B and B2G software companies. Same person across every piece, so your knowledge base, your blog, and your product videos all sound and look like they came from the same company, because they did. This is what I do full-time, and I've been doing it for over 20 years in the B2B and B2G software space. TECHNICAL WRITING * Complete knowledge bases from scratch for companies with little or no customer documentation. * Overhauls of outdated or insufficient help content. * User guides built around real workflows, not just feature lists. * Quick reference and getting-started content for onboarding. * Training materials and SOPs. CONTENT WRITING * Technical blog posts and thought-leadership content that explain real product capability without the fluff. * Case studies and customer success stories grounded in specifics, not generic praise. * Release notes and feature announcements that customers actually read. * Whitepapers and technical explainers for more complex products and audiences. VIDEO PRODUCTION * Video tutorials and screen recordings, scripted, edited, and voiced as a finished product. * Training video libraries for onboarding and feature adoption. * Clean narration using ElevenLabs, paired with original scoring where a project calls for it. * Video and written content built from the same source material, so nothing gets out of sync. I come from a technical writing background, which means everything I build, video included, starts with an accurate, well-organized understanding of the product. That's what keeps a blog post, a help article, and a tutorial video all telling the same true story about your software. TOOLS Documentation and knowledge base platforms for the writing side. Final Cut Pro, Apple Motion, and Camtasia for video editing, motion graphics, and screen recording. Ableton Live and Logic Pro for original scoring and sound design. ElevenLabs for narration. WHO I WORK WITH Small to mid-sized B2B and B2G software companies, typically 10 to 100 employees. SaaS platforms, enterprise systems, government software. Companies that have outgrown "whoever's free writes it" and need documentation, content, and video that all pull in the same direction. RESULTS For a recent SaaS client, I built 25+ tutorial and training videos and wrote the user guide documentation behind them, reducing training time and shifting support questions from basic "how do I" issues to more advanced topics. A previous client saw support time drop significantly after I built their documentation from scratch, content that also helped certify over 100 partners in six months. MY BACKGROUND * 20+ years in B2B and B2G software documentation, content, and video * Former Technical Writing Manager at Workday * SaaS, enterprise, FDA-regulated, and DoD documentation experience * Video production: Final Cut Pro, Apple Motion, Camtasia, motion graphics, editing * Audio: Ableton Live, Logic Pro, AI-assisted voiceover (ElevenLabs) If your company needs documentation, content, or video built or rebuilt, and would rather work with one person who does all three well than juggle three vendors, let's talk about what that looks like for your product.
