Technical Writer | Resources Online (temporary contractor to DocuSign) | Remote | April 28 - Present

I write and edit RESTful API documentation. I also test API calls in Postman to research and verify functionality. 

Freelance Technical Writer | Self-Employed | Remote | January 2013 – Present

I craft API documentation, knowledge base articles, blog posts, user manuals, training materials, and other technical content so that developers can focus on what they do best. I also SEO-optimized, shareable blog posts and press releases.

Information Developer II | Rackspace, Inc. | Remote | January 2018 – February 2019 

I edited API references, developer guides, and knowledge base articles. I also created a Python script to automate tasks and improve my team’s content audit workflow.

Technical Writer | TEKsystems (temporary contractor to Clover, Inc.) | Colorado Springs, CO | June – December 2017

I developed and updated technical manuals, tutorials, web content, and other documentation for SDKs and APIs. I significantly improved the quality of auto-build API documentation by standardizing descriptions across SDKs. I also edited release notes and README files, customized CSS styles for auto-generated API documentation, and created a style guide for developer documentation.
