About

I'm a senior technical writer with experience across user and developer documentation, docs-as-code, and documentation automation. Over the past seven years, I've worked on everything from rebuilding user guides and creating new documentation to improving OpenAPI specifications and automating documentation workflows.

Lately, I've been getting curious about what happens on the other side of the documentation. I've started building developer tools, working with APIs and SDKs, and experimenting with AI-assisted development and documentation workflows. It's given me a chance to explore the technical decisions behind the products I document and think more deeply about the developer experience.

Outside of tech, I'm a documentary and portrait photographer based in Cleveland, Ohio. My photography focuses on artists, performers, and community spaces, and my work has been exhibited locally, including a permanent installation in a local hospital.
