Technical editor and documentation specialist with 12+ years improving research and high-stakes technical content.
What I'm looking for
I’m a technical editor and documentation specialist with over 12 years of experience across academic, engineering, and defense domains. I edit research manuscripts across computer science, physics, medicine, engineering, and applied mathematics, supporting authors through revision cycles and rigorous editorial review.
I’m especially strong in structured, compliant writing—shaping technical manuals and work packages for operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of armored fighting vehicles. I’ve worked with regulated documentation environments using content management systems (including TSAIR and Windchill), and I focus on clarity, consistency, and compliance in highly structured formats.
I also bring research integrity expertise, including plagiarism detection and fraud-risk checks with tools such as iThenticate, and I’ve assessed research integrity and editorial decisions as a “second set of eyes.” I enjoy cross-disciplinary collaboration and am well-suited to technical writing, research quality operations, and AI training/evaluation through careful content assessment.
