I’m a Certified Senior Technical Writer specializing in API and data migration documentation.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Certified Senior Technical Writer with 7+ years of experience in data integration, data migration, and SaaS product documentation across FinTech and cloud. I create user manuals, API guides, release notes, and knowledge base articles that make complex systems clear for technical and non-technical audiences.
In Agile and DevOps environments, I deliver end-to-end documentation for US-based enterprise clients and partner with engineering, QA, product management, and support to keep content accurate and release-ready. Recently, I authored and maintained 200+ pages of technical documentation for Wind River Studio Developer, working across multiple release branches with Git and Docs-as-Code workflows, and I improved usability by restructuring information architecture and standardized templates—reducing maintenance effort by approximately 25–30%. Prior to that, at Cyient, I analyzed REST API documentation for 150+ endpoints using OpenAPI 3.0 (reducing onboarding time by 40%) and maintained a developer portal on MindTouch, increasing engagement by 65%, while producing 25+ technical video tutorials with 120,000+ views and 85% user satisfaction. Earlier, at Capgemini, I supported a Cloud Data Migration project for US Bank clients by creating standardized AWS migration playbooks and pre-migration validation checklists that improved migration outcomes and minimized disruptions. I’ve also been recognized with “Best Technical Contributor (2021)” and led migrations of 320+ legacy documents to DITA, boosting reuse and reducing documentation errors.
