Overview:
|
Documentation specialist who enjoys researching technical material and presenting it clearly for experts and beginners alike. |
|
Details:
|
Eleven years’ experience covering creation of training and user guides, online help and software localization. I have also worked with many tools designed to create print and online guides from a single source.
Sectors worked in include:
* Local Authority Software (Civica Ltd.) Accounting and distribution (Strategix Software Ltd.),
* 3d modelling (Criterion Software Ltd. / Electronic Arts),
* Handheld and mobile computing consumer products (Psion plc/ Symbian).
Key skills :
* Attention to detail.
* The ability to project manage my own work while working either alone or as a member of a team.
* Researching technical information in both written form and by talking to subject matter experts.
* Relaying the technical information in understandable form for someone who is not a power user.
* Being able to look at hardware and software from an informed user’s perspective and report feedback about the software to the appropriate part of the development team.
* Enough affinity with French and German to be able to manage the translation of product documentation into these and other European languages.
* As an Oxford Classics graduate I can offer translation into Ancient Greek or Latin should the need arise!
