Worked on microcontroller chip reference manuals, mostly module chapters. Microcontroller devices typically have +50 modules, which all have their own chapter in a large hardware manual. XML publishing is done using a new process (Linux scripts) and an older process (Docato), both using 2 different source control systems. Both single source processes use custom scripts that use DITA XML to generate PDF and C header files.• Developed and updated DITA XML documents (Oxygen) and in FrameMaker (legacy documents)• Supported +10 module chapters continuously, across multiple simultaneous chip development cycles

Worked in a group that developed chipsets for cellphone, multimedia, and audio OEMs. Was part of a team of 2 technical writers and editors (was 18 before April 09 90% business group reduction).• Developed chip hardware references (2K-5K pages) in Framemaker• Created evaluation board installation/user guides

Played Mr. Mom for my daughter 5 days/week (age 0-4); renovated wife’s dilapidated apartments on weekends.

Worked in a group that developed chipsets for mobile phone manufacturers.• Edited, rewrote and generally improved hardware and software specs for telephony chips• Created many new diagrams for these specs

A start-up, ISI developed memory cache solutions to increase server/PC performance.• Updated and improved a micro-architecture spec for compression/decompression engine for a Standard Cell chip

Vignette developed software used to build large, sophisticated websites.• Created and maintained a C++ API software reference for a CMS (Content Management Server)• Maintained a Tcl reference manual for template developers• Drew many software diagrams for internal architecture specs• Trained another writer to write API documents
