What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my extensive technical writing experience while fostering a collaborative environment that values continuous learning and innovation.

I am a seasoned technical writer with around 16 years of experience in creating and editing technical documents, including user guides, release notes, and API reference documents. My expertise lies in utilizing various technical writing tools such as Adobe FrameMaker and RoboHelp, along with content management systems like SharePoint. I have a proven track record of working in diverse domains, including healthcare, finance, and public service, where I have successfully managed documentation projects and collaborated with subject matter experts to ensure accuracy and clarity.

Throughout my career, I have held leadership roles, including Manager of Technical Communications at Neo Script Technologies, where I trained junior writers and oversaw the creation of user manuals for complex applications. My experience at Cisco Systems as a Senior Lead Technical Writer involved creating documentation for Cisco DNA Spaces, where I ensured adherence to company guidelines and published documents on Cisco.com. I am passionate about mentoring new writers and continuously improving documentation processes to enhance user experience.
