Hi! I’m a technical communicator, content specialist, writer, and messenger of all things technical.
My work#
I’ve been working in the tech industry as a technical communicator for over a decade. Currently, I document cloud-based enterprise database software. Previous to this I worked in the telecommunications and the e-learning industries, writing documentation and designing training courses.
I mostly write about these things#
📝 Technical communication
Too often, the barrier between good software and great software is inadequate documentation.
I share personal learnings on how to break down this barrier to provide users and developers with the resources to take software to its true capabilities.
🗃️ Content strategy
Content strategy focuses on the planning, creation, delivery, and governance of content—and most sites don’t do it.
I write about how to use content strategy to vastly improve user experience.
✔️ Productivity
Progress is incremental with no guarantee of incrementing.
Productivity is there to keep you on track, but it’s important not to get carried away with tools and processes.
I share what I’ve learned works for me, and I hope it’ll work for you too.
