About me
I am a Senior Technical Writer with extensive experience in creating clear, developer-focused documentation. My primary responsibilities include application security and network/penetration test assessments, as well as preparing presentations for sales, technical guides, policies, white papers, and user manuals. I have a proven track record of collaborating closely with engineering and product teams to enhance user experience through technical guides, walkthroughs, and reference materials. I am adept at leveraging user research and analytics to continuously improve content and structure.
Throughout my career, I have developed expertise in various documentation tools such as DITA, XML, Adobe Suite, Microsoft Visio, SharePoint, and Confluence. I am also familiar with compliance standards including NIST, ISO 22301, PCI, GDPR, CCPA, FedRAMP, SOC 2, SOX, and SAQ-D. My experience extends to blockchain and NFT technologies, including Solidity smart contracts, JSON files, generative art, and NFT minting.
I am skilled in project management methodologies like Agile and Scrum, and proficient with tools such as Jira, Trello, Notion, Monday, and MS Project. Additionally, I have experience working with cloud platforms including AWS, Azure, and Digital Ocean. I utilize AI tools like Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, LM Studio, and VS Code to enhance my productivity and content quality.
My work history includes roles at Optiv, Ironforge.co, Mitnick Security, Protocol Labs, Coin Cloud, Lazlo 326, United Aqua Group, Everi, GES, Cascade Financial Technology Corp, Ingram Micro, Walker Digital Table Systems, and Boyd Gaming. These roles have allowed me to develop a diverse skill set in technical writing, product ownership, project management, and business analysis.
I hold certifications such as Certified Scrum Master and Agile for Product Managers, and I bring over 25 years of IT experience to my work. My educational background includes a certificate in Culinary from the College of Southern Nevada and a high school diploma from Moore High School. I also served in the US Navy as an Airman. I am passionate about delivering high-quality, compliant, and user-friendly documentation that supports both technical teams and end users.
