Technical Writing

My tech writing experience includes online help systems, product documentation, white papers, customer case studies, Marketing collateral, Web site messaging and positioning content and technology blogging. I’ve included descriptions and links below to my recent technical and business writing.


I worked with RED Method, a user interface design firm located in Austin, Texas. RED works with companies like yours, from startups to the Fortune 50, expanding business opportunities by rapidly turning product ideas into market validated software applications. I helped RED deliver the strategic messaging and case studies for the launch of their sharp, new Web site. Check it out!


**Update** FiveRuns was recently acquired and its current web site is no longer online.**  I’ll update the links below with the original content a.s.a.p. Over the previous year, I contributed technical content to FiveRuns’ popular Ruby on Rails blog site. These articles include a series on scripting the installation of Linux servers to host production Rails application services. Other articles focused on application performance improvements and monitoring tools. The list below includes links to the original content at FiveRuns.
