I work with companies in the marine industry to write technical documents such as user guides, SOPs, and boat safety. My specialty is creating easy-to-understand content from complex topics. Unlike most technical writers, I have 30+ years’ software, database, and web development experience. And 15+ years’ writing about boats; especially boat safety. This enables me to understand how boats work. Plus, I do workshops for companies and their technical writing teams. I've been in the computer industry for over 30 years and have worked the full software development lifecycle. Programs change. Yet most people still don't understand them. My friends and family are always asking me to interpret computer speak for them. Loving the challenge, I turned to technical writing. And, I write with them in mind. Today, some refer to me as a documentation accelerator. Others call me a documentation janitor. Why? Because I help them brainstorm and solve problems. Interview Subject Matter Experts (SMEs). Organize content. Create new documents. Or, replace and update current documents. I teach, too!As a technical writer, I help you strategize the best ways to inform your users; through different types of content. These include standard operating procedures (SOPs). User guides. User stories. Case studies and white papers, to name a few. My extensive background in the full software development life cycle (SDLC) gives me an advantage to interview SMEs. I think like them. I love learning. That's why interviewing SMEs comes easily to me. Plus, my inquisitive mind.As though computers weren't challenging enough, I learned to sail as an adult. I'd always found the boating (Maritime) industry fascinating. I've interviewed countless industry experts. Visited hundreds of marine ports in the US and abroad. I took several courses in safety. And, in 2009 I produced my first interview audio series with 11 marine industry experts. Since then, I've published books. A column in newspapers and newsletters. My own newsletter. Write technical, safety and travel articles for B2C and B2B.Let's connect if you're looking for a technical writer that can write to any audience. Or, need your SMEs interviewed.
