Welcome to my Technical Writer's Portfolio
As a Senior Technical Writer, I’ve taken on roles as a mentor, technical lead, consultant, and open-source contributor, focusing on fostering collaboration with stakeholders and cross-functional teams. With over 10 years of experience in academic writing and 4+ years in technical writing, I’ve developed the ability to translate complex concepts into clear, accessible information for diverse audiences.

Projects
-
Video streaming services Integration of a streaming platform into STB devices. I created how-to guides that helped newcomers configure their devices and routers. I also supported the quality testing team and carried out project management tasks. The development team worked with JavaScript, RESTful APIs, and AWS Athena.
-
Financial services Migration of a legacy-based financial system into a microservice-based architecture. I created how-to guides that helped developers to connect to databases, monitor resources, manage parameters, deploy applications using Octopus, and query data using AWS Athena. I produced glossaries, policies, and user guides and implemented a Docs-like-Code approach to deliver technical documentation in a static site powered by Hugo and hosted in GitLab Pages.
-
Dating services Integration of BlueSnap, Stripe, and Apple Pay payment processors with customer services. I created sequence diagrams and API documentation that helped developers to understand the flow of payment transactions for payment processors, including Stripe, BlueSnap, and Apple Pay.
