What I'm looking for

I am seeking a technical writing role where I can create clear, user-centered documentation, collaborate with engineers, and grow in developer-focused content within a supportive, learning-oriented team.

I am an experienced communicator with 25+ years in journalism, content creation, and strategic writing, now focused on Technical Writing. I recently completed an intensive web development bootcamp (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React, Node.js, Express) and am completing Technical Writing certifications from Google, Platzi, and GitLab University while building a professional documentation portfolio.

I have created tutorials and guides for development workflows, validating instructions through hands-on testing, and have a proven ability to translate complex information into clear, user-centered content for global audiences. I work at a C1 (advanced) level of English and have extensive experience managing projects and coordinating with subject matter experts under tight deadlines.
