About

Professional summary

I am a cybersecurity-credentialed senior technical writer with more than 15 years of experience creating security, compliance, networking, and enterprise technology documentation.

I translate complex security architectures, regulatory requirements, data models, and integration workflows into accurate, usable content for engineers, auditors, product teams, and end users.

I specialize in structured and topic-based authoring using DITA/XML, with a focus on content governance, single-sourcing, information architecture, discoverability, and long-term documentation quality.

I have partnered closely with engineering, security, product, clinical, research, and regulatory subject-matter experts to produce compliant, technically accurate documentation across technology, scientific, and health-tech domains.

I also bring experience with docs-as-code practices, AI-assisted content workflows, technical editing, localization management, Agile delivery, and mentoring technical writers.

I am fluent in English, French, and Italian, and I combine strong communication skills with cybersecurity and compliance knowledge to make complex information clear and actionable.
