I am a technical writer with more than eight years of experience creating API documentation, developer guides, software documentation, release notes, and docs-as-code content.
I specialize in developer-focused documentation for REST APIs, OpenAPI specifications, OAuth 2.0 flows, JWT authentication, webhooks, and event-driven APIs. I create clear instructional content, code samples, and implementation tutorials for technical audiences.
I collaborate closely with engineers, product managers, subject-matter experts, and API providers to ensure documentation meets product, security, governance, and usability requirements.
I use Git-based documentation workflows, Markdown, feature branches, CI/CD pipelines, GitHub, AWS, Postman, and curl to write, test, review, and deploy documentation.
My technical background includes documenting and creating examples in Node.js, Python, Java, and .NET. I also have experience with HTML, CSS, PHP, XML, JavaScript, Jira, Confluence, Agile practices, and the Microsoft Manual of Style.
I hold a Bachelor of Arts in English and completed 30 hours toward a Master of Arts in Professional and Technical Communication. I bring strong editing skills focused on clarity, concision, and reducing redundancy.
Collaborated with engineers and product managers to update OpenAPI specifications for REST APIs in accordance with security and governance standards.
Created software documentation, code samples, and JWT verification workflow guidance for API consumers and providers. Used docs-as-code workflows to deploy API proxies and documentation, tested APIs with curl and Postman, and supplied boilerplate content using GitHub Copilot.
Created and maintained Markdown documentation for a GitHub- and AWS-hosted documentation website, updating content as new user-interface features were released. Wrote extensive guidance for OpenAPI specifications and API creation.
Created Git feature branches for subject-matter-expert review and approval, then deployed documentation through CI/CD pipelines. Authored tutorials covering event-driven APIs, admin APIs, Node.js API development, OAuth 2.0 client-credentials flows, and webhooks, with examples in Node.js, Python, Java, and .NET.
Worked with subject-matter experts across the organization to create documents conforming to the Microsoft Manual of Style.
Researched requests for proposals to satisfy documentation requirements and tracked comment resolutions in Confluence.
Researched user stories in Jira within an Agile environment to test user-interface features and communicate use cases through weekly release notes supporting customer technical and business needs.
Created release guides and uploaded them to Confluence for internal stakeholders. Also merged branches and ran the application locally.
Migrated and reorganized a website for an internal client.
Gathered information from multiple sources and compiled procedures for API lifecycle tasks, including creating, updating, and sunsetting APIs.
