VISUAL RESUME
Below is a detailed representation of my 14 years experience in technical roles (including 8 years in software development) and my over 7 years experience in technical writing. If you prefer, you can also view my traditional resume.
ABOUT
I am a Certified Professional Technical Communicator and software developer who has created technical documentation since 2007.
At least since I was assembling PCs in high school (and probably earlier), I have had a love of tech. I took the long way around by majoring in Philosophy in college, but after a few years I realized that I wanted to work with software. And I did just that at Hyland Software–going from implementer to QA to developer.
But a common thread throughout all this work was that I found I was particularly good at documenting the software for different stakeholders–developers, end users, tech support, product owners, etc. In fact, while I would say that while I am good at writing code, I am even better at writing in English!

Static Sites
I can use tools like Markdown, AsciiDoc, and static site generators to create rich and normalized documentation, which is easier to read and maintain. View my demos below:
