Projects

A selection of documentation and tooling projects I've led or contributed to.

Docs-as-Code Migration

iTAC Software

Led the transition of the R&D documentation set from a proprietary XML editorial system to an open-source Docs-as-Code workflow built on AsciiDoc and Antora. Wrote the Python and Bash tooling used to convert legacy content and to automate parts of the publishing pipeline. The move to plain-text, version-controlled source content is what later made it possible to expose the documentation to an AI RAG chatbot and AI writing assistants.

Tech: AsciiDoc, Antora, Python, Bash, Git

AI-Ready Documentation for a RAG Chatbot

iTAC Software

Restructured existing documentation so it could serve as a reliable knowledge base for a retrieval-augmented generation chatbot used by both end users and developers. The work was largely editorial: splitting long topics into self-contained sections, removing implicit cross-references, and front-loading answers so individual chunks made sense in isolation — the structural changes that mattered most for retrieval quality.

Tech: AsciiDoc, Antora, RAG/AI writing assistants

Documentation Standards & Style Governance

iTAC Software

Defined and rolled out documentation standards, a style guide, and information-retrieval processes covering online help, user manuals, interface and service descriptions, and technical specifications, alongside building and leading the team responsible for maintaining them.

Tech: Style guides, Docs-as-Code, team leadership

Multilingual Documentation Programs

Leica Geosystems & Freelance

Managed the creation, translation, and publication of technical documentation for surveying, civil engineering, agriculture, and mining equipment, with translations into 28 languages including Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Russian. As a freelancer, ran translation projects into roughly 20 additional target languages for a range of clients, including terminology management to keep multilingual content consistent at scale.

Tech: Translation management, terminology/glossary management

Digital Database Production Pipeline

De Gruyter

Created and maintained over 30 digital database projects derived from journal articles and textbooks across humanities and natural sciences. Built Bash and XSLT-based data conversion tooling to speed up release cycles, and introduced a project management tool to track individual projects and improve internal communication during a major platform redesign.
