Professional Experience

Senior Technical Writer — Cloudflare (2021 – July 2026)

Owned the full documentation lifecycle for enterprise network and security products: technical research, stakeholder collaboration, publishing, and long-term maintenance.
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.
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.
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.
Reorganized and updated 400+ documentation pages to align with the redesigned dashboard information architecture and make products easier to find.
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.
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.
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.
