I create technical documentation, training, and AI-ready content for complex platforms.
What I'm looking for
At Oracle, I create internal and customer-facing documentation, training, videos, runbooks, API content, and release communications for CSS Platform DevOps. I also develop LLM content, test AI Assist accuracy, refine documentation for better responses, and support Agile ceremonies as a backup scrum master.
Previously at Sungard Availability Services, I built and managed a global technical writing function across the US, UK, and India. I hired, trained, and mentored writers while creating documentation, videos, templates, release messaging, and customer content for Managed Cloud, AWS, VMware, DevOps, and service automation products.
At Gartner, I led publishing-platform changes, requirements gathering, user acceptance testing, training, and communications for more than 1,200 associates. I managed major initiatives including the Forecast Innovation Program and enhancements to the Gartner Interactive Content Creator supporting Magic Quadrants and Critical Capabilities.
I bridge IT requirements and end-user communications by turning complex processes into clear documentation, training, and practical workflows. My work spans Confluence, Jira, Markdown, GitHub, DITA, CI/CD publishing, video production, Agile, and waterfall delivery.
