In short

Always editing, usually troubleshooting.

- Coordinated documentation delivery on a monthly release cycle, within an Agile environment.
- Coordinated the migration of the documentation from RoboHelp to Flare and the creation of a CI/CD pipeline.
- Served as point of contact for other teams and raised the profile of the Documentation team in the company.
- Given presentations to internal teams and to clients.
- Reviewed the work of other writers.
- Provided technical support to a department of ~20 writers for RoboHelp, FrameMaker, Flare, SVN, Git, Jira, Word, HTML.
- Wrote basic VBA and Python scripts to automate tasks.
- Done lots and lots of training and mentoring for junior writers.
