Professional Experience

Steyer Assoc., Bainbridge, WA  -  Programming Writer                               May 2011 - Present

Documented JavaScript and C# APIs on contract with the Windows Live Developer Content team. The project involved two main tasks: authoring content and updating metadata. For authoring, used the XMetal authoring system and Source Depot revision control to write API reference content with full descriptions of code elements, parameters, and return values. Updated XML metadata by detecting badly formed XML tags or invalid/outdated values, then correcting them by directly editing the XML. This required a thorough knowledge of the group's publishing schema based on XLST.

Planned, coordinated, and wrote system protocol documentation with the Windows Server & Cloud Interoperability team.

Aquent LLC, Seattle, WA  -  Programming Writer                                       Jan 2010 - Aug 2010

Designed and created a developer documentation set from the ground up for the Messenger Connect resource model, on contract with Windows Live Services team. The documentation describes a REST web service programming model that enables partner applications to access Windows Live Services. Services provide, for example, contacts in a Hotmail address book, photos and videos on SkyDrive, and activities on Live.com, or on other services such as Flickr, LinkedIn, or Facebook. Applications access resources by making HTTP calls that send and receive XML data. The model supports common data formats such as Atom and JSON.

When the project began, Microsoft had no existing documentation for a REST technology, so I designed a documentation format that would be understandable to developers already familiar with REST web services, but that would also work within Microsoft's style guidelines.
