I am a fully-qualified, well-established and fully-trained Technical Writer, who is English and writes in both Plain (British) English and American English. I have 13 years writing experience in the Military, Education, IT, Engineering and Publishing fields. I have a flair for "translating" complicated procedures and methods into concise and easy to understand instructions. I am extremely flexible, highly dependable and eager to learn quickly. I thrive on challenges, diversity of projects and strict deadlines. Take a look at my portfolio!

I first worked in a team of 10 multi-national Technical Writers and Translators, but then the department was distributed (scummed). I was moved into another department with 40 Software Developers working on the Production Suite component of SIMATIC IT. For the entire time I was with Siemens, I maintained and updated all 25 of their Technical online SIMATIC IT help systems which were used by Siemens Software Developers, Account Managers and End-Users to fully customise their SIMATIC IT software suite.

I worked on ABB's most important project (Shell Oil & Gas Plant) which was deployed in Qatar and dealt with 8 Major Contractors. I worked alone and significantly reduced the time on the Final Documentation phase by creating a streamlined and organised document processing system. My role involved producing standard procedures, legal documentation, closely liaising with the engineers and the project leader. I had to deal with as many as 400 documents for each of the 8 Major Contractors.
