Competencies
Sequential Storytelling
I've authored and illustrated a full length graphic novel, a well-regarded three-issue limited series, and a slice of life comic strip.
Technical Writing
I've written two editions of 3D graphics software manuals while working in the gaming industry. I've also created user documentation for Asset Performance (APM) and Field Service Management (FSM) in the renewable energy sector.
Knowledge Management
I've built and administered content and knowledge management systems in Paligo, Drupal, Salesforce and Freshdesk. I've also published release notes, user manuals and process documentation while collaborating with product and software development teams in Europe, Asia and North America.
Project Coordination
I've spearheaded the migration of several knowledge bases and content management systems. I've also been responsible for customer resources during platform upgrades and organizational restructures.
