Olivier Pathy
@olivierpathy
Senior technical writer and documentation project manager specializing in DITA and content strategy.
What I'm looking for
I am a senior technical writer and documentation project manager with 18 years' experience delivering documentation, content strategy and CMS deployments for medical devices, FPGA, blockchain and internet technologies. I design single-source DITA systems, automate content delivery workflows and lead multidisciplinary teams to improve editorial processes and language quality assurance.
I have implemented corporate-wide Oxygen/DITA solutions, managed large-scale migrations and localisation projects, and created interactive learning and knowledge-base systems that measurably improved publishing cycles and user support. I combine language expertise in English and French with technical tooling (XSLT, Git, XML editors) to produce precise, user-centered documentation and scalable content operations.
