Documentation Engineer · Solo Product Builder

I build the platform too — the documentation infrastructure, search, CI, and the words themselves. I also build full-stack products solo.

01 · About

What I actually do

Most technical writers write content for a platform someone else built. I build the platform too.

At Adverity I own the documentation infrastructure — the build system, the search pipeline, the CI/CD, the AI chatbot, and the chatbot analytics. I also write the documentation across the product areas.

Outside work I ship full-stack products solo. A self-hosted e-commerce stack on a hardened VPS with an LLM-powered localization pipeline. A multi-tenant SaaS for contractors with real-time canvas sync — contractor and client always see the same quote at the same time.

The combination: platform engineer, precise technical writer, solo product builder, AI tooling practitioner. Each is documented in the sections below.

I write for engineers who don't have time to be confused. The platform, the products, and the blog posts all use the same voice — direct, specific, with concrete tool names.

Where the work happened

  1. Documentation Engineer

    @ Adverity

    Dec 2024 – Present · Full-time (B2B)

    Multi-product SaaS data platform

    Own the documentation infrastructure and content across the product. Built the platform, built the AI layer, wrote the content.

    • Sphinx build systems

      Full configuration, custom extensions, theming, multi-version support. Migrated 800+ pages from a legacy authoring tool with a fresh content taxonomy (tutorials, how-tos, reference, concept) and no documentation incidents since cutover.

    • Search infrastructure

      Built the indexing pipeline, synonym rules, query tuning, and a zero-result analytics dashboard — measurable reduction in failed searches over the first six months.

    • Docs-as-code CI

      Linting, link validation, and OpenAPI-spec drift detection run on every PR. A diff of the new vs. previous spec opens tickets for affected docs pages automatically.

    • AI chatbot with query rewriting

      Standard RAG failed on vague, abbreviated, or product-mismatched queries. Built a query-rewriting layer: a curated terminology dictionary maps real user phrasings (wrong product names, abbreviations, conceptual descriptions) to the correct feature. Normalizes the query before retrieval — fewer 'no relevant answer' failures and less hallucination.

    • Chatbot analytics

      Captures per-interaction data: page the user was on, content visible at time of question, reading time before asking, satisfaction signals from follow-up behavior. Surfaces confusing features, high-uncertainty pages, and content gaps with no docs page.

    • Release-notes automation

      Weekly scheduled workflow. Pulls release data via REST API, filters by fix version + date, drafts the changelog with a language model, I review and publish. Replaces a multi-hour manual task with a short review cycle.

    • UX writing

      Wrote error messages, confirmation dialogs, tooltip copy, and creation-wizard copy directly with product and engineering teams.

  2. Technical Writer

    @ Antmicro

    Jan 2022 – Nov 2023 · Full-time (B2B)

    Open-source embedded simulation

    Wrote and maintained the open-source simulation-framework documentation. Authored long-form engineering blog posts. Collaborated with an external partner team on CI-driven hardware testing.

    • Simulation-framework documentation (8 major sections)

      Introduction + installation, machine configuration, debugging (GDB + VS Code), execution tracing, networking (TAP/VMNET, Wireshark), host integration (UART, CAN, Arduino, VirtIO), advanced topics (HDL co-simulation, peripheral modeling), tutorials (Zephyr PTP, BLE, Verilator, USB/IP). Same doc set, two completely different audiences — beginner guides through expert HDL co-simulation.

    • CrOS EC Tester integration

      Documented the CrOS EC Tester integration with the simulation framework for CI-driven fingerprint microcontroller testing. STM32F412 (Bloonchipper) and STM32H743 (Dartmonkey) simulation — UART, GPIO, DMA, ADC, SPI, flash, MPU, FPU. Replaced physical-hardware reflashing with CI-driven simulation.

    • Bylined engineering blog posts

      Authored long-form posts on the company engineering blog. ARM architecture, FPGA/HDL co-simulation, BLE/IoT, ASIC security, Zephyr RTOS, safety-critical systems, edge AI, embedded CI/CD. Problem-solution structure with concrete tooling and reproducible steps.

  3. Technical Writer

    @ Catalogic Software

    Nov 2023 – Nov 2024 · Full-time (B2B)

    Enterprise data protection

    Technical writer for three enterprise products — backup, storage, and ransomware detection. Maintained the doc set across all three product lines and shipped the platform migration to a new docs framework.

    • DPX — enterprise backup & recovery

      Installation (virtual + physical appliances for VMware / Hyper-V), full configuration / backup / recovery workflows, enterprise storage management + replication, REST API references and integration guides. Audience: IT administrators and system architects on mission-critical enterprise storage.

    • vStor — ZFS-based enterprise storage

      Installation, ZFS disks / pools / LUN volumes / compression / dedup / shares / snapshots, multipath storage, certificates, encryption URLs, MFA, CLI + REST API, security best practices (storage encryption, immutability).

    • GuardMode — ransomware detection

      Agent config via the product UI and Swagger, full REST API + Swagger docs, command-line usage, on-demand scanning, logging frameworks, FAQ / troubleshooting. Maintained docs across 5 major releases (2022.1 → 2023.2 → 2024.2 → 2024.3 → 2026.1) with OpenAPI version selectors and Git sync.

    • AI chatbot prototype (early)

      Built a prototype conversational Q&A layer over the GuardMode docs. Recognised early that docs + LLMs was high-leverage and prototyped it independently.

    • Platform migration

      Migrated all three product doc sets from their legacy system to a modern docs framework: structured content model, cross-product references, multi-version management from scratch.
