What I'm looking for

I seek senior technical writing roles on product-focused, agile teams where I can create high-quality API docs, examples, and mentor writers while improving documentation quality and usability.

I am a technical writer with 13+ years of experience—5+ years in technical writing and 7+ years in software development—focused on delivering clear, comprehensive documentation for complex products like Simulink. I have driven documentation quality to 100% compliance, produced how-to topics, API references, examples, videos, and led pilot projects to improve tools and processes.

I collaborate closely with cross-functional teams (QE, Marketing, Advanced Technical Support) and participate in agile sprints, design meetings, and company-wide testing. I mentor new writers, track documentation quality and customer feedback with PowerBI, and continuously research technical domains to improve usability and accuracy.
