Experienced technical writer with expertise in documentation and SaaS.
What I'm looking for
I am a seasoned technical writer with over 16 years of experience in creating comprehensive documentation across various domains, including telecom, IT, and healthcare. My journey has taken me through roles at leading companies such as CSG Systems International and Amdocs, where I honed my skills in producing user guides, API documentation, and release notes. I thrive in AGILE environments, collaborating closely with engineering teams to ensure that documentation meets the highest standards of clarity and usability.
Throughout my career, I have successfully managed documentation projects with tight deadlines and minimal supervision. My technical proficiency includes tools like Madcap Flare, Jira, and Adobe Acrobat Pro, which I leverage to create user-friendly content for SaaS applications. I am passionate about transforming complex technical information into accessible documentation that empowers users and enhances their experience.
