I have made them available for evaluation purposes only. By reading them you agree not to share them outside this context.
Unlike most software technical writers Irequired minimal support from developers. Iwas able toread code and write example programs that worked. I performed many critical support roles such as website development, release engineering, beta test administration, database design and implementation, configuration management, quality assurance, internal technical support, customer support, and classroom instruction. I worked for several startup companies that required extremely long hours and personal commitment in return for stock options.
I had completed half of the Master of Arts program in Software Design and Analysis at Boston University's Metropolitan College when project pressure from Digital Equipment's panic-driven attempt to build personal computers made it impossible to continue.
The eDialog and Vertica writing samples were created inAuthor-it,a highly-advanced authoring/publishing solution similar toMadcap Flare.
