Technical Documentation

As a technical writer, I create cybersecurity tutorials and software documentation. I write and maintain tutorials, user manuals, developer guides, release notes, and all kinds of software-related explainers.

I place a high value on readability and positive user experience.

Create Technical Content

as tutorials, documentation, or software UI descriptions

I create documentation for both end users and developers, including API documentation. User manuals, assistance guides, developer guides, white papers, technical reports, release notes, and online help are some of the genres I am familiar with.

Edit or Proofread

content created by others

I often edit or proofread highly specialized content — for example, papers for academic journals or some very technical content for the manuals that requires a PhD in mathematics, physics, or computer sciences. The main challenge is to identify some fuzzy, excessive, or poorly structured content and to negotiate solutions with the author. My own experience as a linguist and researcher is a big help when working on such involved projects.

Copywriting

technical writing for marketing purposes

Company brochures, newsletters, social media posts and similar genres where readability and user-friendliness often competes with technical expertise

Videography

for a corporate YouTube channel

I wrote or edited the scrips and organized the shootings for several corporate YouTube videos.
