Senior Technical Writer · Amazon — Annapurna Labs · AWS Neuron SDK
Documentation is detective work: I investigate complex systems, ask engineers the questions customers will ask, and turn the evidence into docs that developers — and AI agents — can trust.
Read the code, run the product, follow the data. The system itself is the primary source — everything else is hearsay.
The newest procedure in the file: hand the legwork to AI agents — sweeping codebases, tracing call paths, drafting the first pass. Two decades of casework taught me what to look for; the agents widen the search, and I cross-examine every claim before it enters the file.
Ask engineers the questions customers will ask, before customers have to. The gaps between answers are where the real docs live.
Spot-check what I can — run the examples, walk the quickstarts — and route the rest to the engineers who own it.
Turn findings into durable information architecture — content that humans can navigate and machines can parse.
I document the software stack that runs PyTorch on AWS Trainium — for ML engineers who need models training on custom accelerators, not marketing copy.
The audience is expert and the stack is deep: framework integration, LLM serving, custom kernels, profiling. My job is making the working path unmistakable at every layer.
Cupertino, California
AWS Neuron SDK documentation for Trainium.
San Jose, California
Developer documentation for next-generation Alexa — authored with AI-assisted tooling before it was standard practice.
Sunnyvale, California
Alexa Skills Kit and Alexa Voice Service Device SDK docs; contributed to stealth generative-AI projects.
San Jose, California
Financial-risk documentation. Led the move from DITA to docs-as-code (AsciiDoc, Git, GitHub) and the GitLab→GitHub CI/CD migration.
Toronto & San Jose
Risk analytics and aggregation docs for IBM Algo. Tooling support for quants authoring financial models in MathML; mentored interns through a FrameMaker→DITA conversion.
Toronto, Canada
User guides, configuration guides, and online help for financial risk management products.
Away from the case files: swimming laps, paper books, podcasts on long walks, and traveling for the next great meal. Home is South San Jose, shared with a hardware engineer and a budding technical writer — the family conversation runs from circuit boards to style guides.
