Professional Experience

Senior Technical Writer — Cloudflare (2021 – July 2026)

  • Built an 80+ component AI documentation toolkit (slash commands, agents, shared knowledge modules) and pitched it, plus the operations strategy behind it, to engineering and product leadership.
  • Cut research time from 2–3 days to about an hour and content scaffolding from 30 minutes to 5; packaged the workflows into a starter kit that several teams adopted and a Senior Supportability Program Manager rebuilt for their own work.
  • Automated the team's review triage with a GitHub bot that posted weekly PR-digest cards to Google Chat, surfacing stalled reviews at a glance.
  • Ran a 695-file cross-product migration and rebrand in 3 days against a 2–3 week estimate, automating the bulk edits with tooling I built.
  • Worked through 753 support cases (32% of the area's support volume) to find the main customer pain points, then redesigned the troubleshooting docs around symptom-driven diagnostics.
  • Owned the full documentation lifecycle for enterprise network and security products: technical research, stakeholder collaboration, publishing, and long-term maintenance.
  • Designed a connectivity reference comparing 11 enterprise tunnel and connector options; it drew 2,500+ views within weeks and filled a gap stakeholders had been unable to point customers to.
  • Wrote the hands-on API request examples in the product docs, building each call in Postman and checking it against the live OpenAPI endpoints so developers could copy working requests straight from the page.
  • Reorganized and updated 400+ documentation pages to align with the redesigned dashboard information architecture and make products easier to find.
