Technical communication

Nine years turning dense, technical systems into documentation people can actually follow — developer docs and API references, SDK guides, user manuals, release notes, and the information architecture that holds it all together. I work close to engineering, in the code and in the docs, and I care as much about how content is structured and found as about how it reads.

Docs portal owner

Alfred Co.host

2023 – now

The challenge: staying genuinely helpful without ever being obvious, explaining Alfred’s concepts to an international audience aged 25 to 65. I leaned on strict information mapping, a deliberately shallow structure, and disambiguation hubs with clear cards — keeping terminology identical to the UI across every translation.

Transmit Security

2023 – now

Documenting security-critical, invisible flows — OAuth/OIDC, passkeys, journey orchestration — with zero room for ambiguity, while APIs and SDKs across Web, iOS and Android keep evolving. I validate every flow hands-on so the docs stay as dependable as the product.

Senior Technical Writer

Empathy.co

2022 – 2023

Standing up functional and backend API documentation from scratch, in fast Agile cycles, for an audience that’s half product, half engineering. The hard part: pulling scattered knowledge across Confluence, Backstage, Postman and Swagger into one coherent, searchable voice.

Technical Communicator

Writec

2021 – 2022

Jumping from one client and project to the next — industrial automation, printing machinery, finance — each with its own jargon, tools and reader. I used information mapping and plain language to make dense, regulated material usable, and published multi-output in MadCap Flare.

Technical Writer

Cerner (now Oracle Health)

2018 – 2021

In healthcare admin and finance software, accuracy is compliance — a wrong step in a guide has real consequences. I owned the information architecture, kept docs in lockstep with a fast-moving product, and worked with UX to rewrite the interface text itself.

Product Expert

Dimelo (now RingCentral)

2017 – 2018

Sitting between support, product and R&D — turning real customer friction into clear help content and roadmap input. I produced bilingual (EN↔FR) Help Center articles and release comms built to cut tickets, not just describe features.

Translation & proofreading

Discovery Publishers · CIHEAM-Bari

2013 – 2016

Carrying meaning, terminology and cultural accuracy intact across EN/FR → IT, from books to technical texts. It’s where I learned the precision and register discipline that underpins all my technical writing today.
