Experienced technical writer fluent in English, Ukrainian, and Russian.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated technical writer with extensive experience in creating and updating documentation for various products. My journey began in 2014, and since then, I have honed my skills in writing release notes, user guides, and training materials. I have worked with diverse teams, ensuring that documentation is clear, concise, and accessible to all stakeholders.
Throughout my career, I have collaborated with cross-functional teams to gather information and streamline documentation processes. My role at Avantra involved not only writing release notes but also updating existing documentation and creating engaging blog posts about new features and bug fixes. I take pride in my ability to communicate complex technical concepts in a way that is easily understood by non-technical audiences.
With a Master's degree in Biotechnological Engineering and fluency in English, Ukrainian, and Russian, I bring a unique perspective to technical writing. I am passionate about enhancing product quality through effective documentation and am always eager to learn and adapt to new challenges in the field.
