A bit about me

Writing taught me to start with the audience. What's their pain point? What do they actually need? Once I have that, I think about structure and how to present the information in a way that meets the user where they are. That's what I do, whether I'm writing a doc, designing an information system, or figuring out why something isn't connecting.

Two things I do

Documentation & Information Architecture

I design how organisations structure and deliver information. Creating dev docs, API references, knowledge bases. I don't just write docs, I understand how it fits into the bigger picture.

Systems & Operations Design

I design the systems that organisations run on—structuring how information is organised, how work flows, and how processes scale as things grow. I design systems that are structured, repeatable, and built for long-term use.

Selected work

I'm looking for a full-time remote role — as an information architect, technical writer, or operations specialist — helping teams bring structure and clarity to how information is organised and how work gets done.

Documentation · API reference

Finance API Documentation

View docs ↗

Full API reference documentation for a financial data product — including authentication flows, endpoint references, parameter tables, and example responses. Built in Gitbook with a focus on developer usability.

Documentation · Open source

NBA-API Package Documentation

View docs ↗

Community documentation for the NBA-API Python package — an open source project that lacked a proper reference. Designed the IA, wrote the guides and endpoint references, and deployed the site. Also wrote an accompanying tutorial on using the package.

MindsDB IBM-db2 Integration Docs

Contributed the IBM-db2 integration documentation to the MindsDB open source project — covering setup, configuration, and usage with the MindsDB AI layer.

IA Audit · In progress

Information Architecture Audit coming soon

A full IA review of a real product — mapping the current structure, identifying where users get lost, and proposing a redesigned architecture with before/after diagrams.

IA review Structural redesign Documentation strategy

I started my career as a writer — curious about how complex things worked and obsessed with explaining them clearly. That instinct led me into technical writing, where I discovered something more interesting than writing itself: the systems underneath the words.

Documentation lives inside processes. A knowledge base is only as good as the information architecture holding it together. A tutorial only makes sense if the product workflow it describes actually works. The more I wrote, the more I found myself redesigning the systems I was documenting.

Over the past five years, that instinct has taken me from writing API references and developer guides to building the operational infrastructure that organisations run on — CRM pipelines, workflow automations, progress-tracking systems. I've come into early-stage companies and created the structure that didn't exist yet: the frameworks, the tools, the processes, the documentation.

Along the way I interned on what's considered the best-selling technical writing manual of all time at Boffin Education, contributed to open source documentation projects including MindsDB and The Good Docs Project, and have been a regular contributor to KnowledgeOwl — writing about documentation strategy and knowledge base design.

I think of myself as someone who connects the dots. I take a complex system, ask why it isn't clearer, and build something that makes it so. I'm at the stage of my career where I want to go deep — to join a team with real structure, bring everything I've learned, and grow into the best version of what I do.


What I'm looking for

A full-time role — as an information architect, technical writer, or operations specialist — at an organisation that's clear about where it's going and serious about developing its people.

Role titles that fit what I do: Information Architect, Documentation Engineer, Technical Writer, Knowledge Systems Lead, Technical Program Manager, Operations Specialist. I'm more interested in the problem than the title.
