I’m looking for a remote-first role focused on improving documentation, knowledge, content, and workflows. I’m strongest in technical documentation, knowledge management, content operations, process improvement, and AI-assisted productivity, helping distributed teams turn complex information into clear, organized, repeatable systems.

Technical Documentation & Content Operations Specialist | Systems, content & process documentation for remote teams
What I'm looking for
I turn complex business systems and content operations into documentation that distributed teams can actually rely on. My 15+ years span two connected tracks — business systems and content operations — both built on a foundation of structured documentation.
On the systems side, I spent close to a decade in dialer and IVR systems management at NCO Group and Metrobank Card Corporation, progressing to Collections Systems Manager. I led requirements gathering and system-enhancement projects end to end, and created the system documentation, process documentation, and training materials that got new workflows adopted by operational teams.
On the content side, I've led research and editorial operations for globally distributed digital media (Project Nightfall) and managed content operations for Virtual Reality Marketing, where I grew and maintained a database of 1,000+ XR creators while building the editorial guidelines, workflow documentation, and content governance that kept a distributed contributor network publishing consistently. At Project Nightfall, the research and documentation systems I built supported content viewed by millions.
Earlier in my career, I worked as a Document Analyst converting high-volume unstructured records into searchable, quality-controlled documentation — the direct root of my current documentation focus.
I hold a BS in Electrical Engineering and a Post-Baccalaureate in Computer Technology from the Polytechnic University of the Philippines, and I use AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude alongside platforms like Notion and Asana to keep documentation and workflows moving.
I'm based in the Philippines and looking for remote Technical Writer, Technical Documentation, or Content Operations roles where I can work async with distributed teams — documentation, systems, and content are the throughline of everything I've built.
