My focus in technical writing is to design and develop high quality documentation with human factors and usability as my guiding principles.
I am a Canadian living in Berlin, Germany since 2001. I specialize in designing and writing high quality documentation for software APIs written in C or JavaScript, as well manuals and user guides for electronic RF products, including RF chips, RF modules, and mobile devices.
Since graduating in 1994 from the University of Waterloo (Waterloo, Canada), I initially worked in banking and auditing companies and then moved into the wireless industry.
