I am a versatile and engaging Senior Technical Author from an Electronic Engineering background, with a strong commitment to delivering detailed technical documentation for new product launches. I consider myself technically astute with extensive knowledge of documentation standards including DITA; producing documents such as Application Notes, Operating Manuals, User Manuals, API documentation, and electronic components catalogues. I am an active member of ISTC, STC, and OASIS which provide valuable in-sight into industry leading standards.During my extensive career I have amassed a great deal of experience within leading organisations including Oxford Instruments, ARM, AlertMe.com and Elekta. My accomplishments to date have included:• Leading the generation of technical documentation for Oxford Instruments which supported the successful launch of its X-MET 7000 series of X-ray fluorescent analysers.• Developing a DITA architecture and reuse strategy for ARM to drive the migration of semiconductor intellectual property documentation from FrameMaker to DITA.• Delivering technical documentation using Simplified Technical English to Medical Standards for Elekta relating to their medical equipment used in oncology surgery. By nature I am confident and highly motivated, and my strengths lie not only in understanding engineering and documentation standards, but also in leading the implementation of DITA standards into leading organisations to deliver documentation with corporate branding.
