Content owner and strategist

My software engineering experience gives me powerful techniques to create seamless experiences for users.

I've designed, coded, and written for content systems. My products successfully helped users with relevant searches and analytics, versatile structure, and enabled SMEs (not just specialist technical writers) to draft consistently-formatted, semantic content.

I devised style guides, created standards, training, and mentored and assisted others with UX and presentation. I edit and review kindly.
