What I'm looking for
As a UK native currently residing in Prague, I am a dedicated Technical Writer with a wealth of experience in creating and managing comprehensive user documentation. My current role as Knowledge Manager at Contabo has honed my skills in developing customer-facing documentation, internal resources for support teams, and automated responses that enhance user experience. I thrive in environments that challenge me to adapt quickly to new technologies and concepts, ensuring that my documentation is clear, concise, and relevant to a diverse audience.
Throughout my career, I have collaborated closely with Development, Marketing, and Support teams to keep documentation aligned with product changes. My previous experience at Monstarlab allowed me to design and manage a knowledge base that documented customer projects, ensuring easy access and guidance for both internal teams and clients. I take pride in my ability to analyze user feedback and SEO trends to continuously improve content discoverability, making me a valuable asset in any technical writing role.
