What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values collaboration and innovation, where I can lead documentation projects and contribute to user experience.

With over 8 years of experience as a Technical Writer, I specialize in creating comprehensive technical documentation in B2B SaaS environments. My expertise lies in collaborating with cross-functional teams to develop user manuals, technical guides, and API documentation that enhance user experience and product understanding. I have a proven track record of leading documentation teams and implementing agile methodologies to optimize documentation quality.

In my recent role as an Analyst-Technical Writer at Scan-IT, I successfully led a team of three writers, producing over 100 user manuals and API documents for each bimonthly release. I implemented agile documentation processes and conducted quality assurance checks to ensure that the UI met business specifications. My ability to evaluate and migrate documentation tools has significantly improved the accessibility and consistency of our documentation.

Throughout my career, I have managed large teams and delivered extensive documentation across various product lines. My technical skills include proficiency in tools such as Adobe FrameMaker and Asciidoc, as well as web development languages like HTML and CSS. I am passionate about simplifying complex information and making it accessible to users, ensuring that documentation is not only accurate but also user-friendly.
