Hiring for a role?
A technical writer who was the engineer first
I'm open to remote roles in technical writing, documentation and AI operations. I work from Jakarta (UTC+7) and I'm happy to work US hours.
Roles I'm open to

Technical writer
Help centers, product docs, guides and release notes, researched against the product before anyone is asked a question.

Docs kept in step with releases, with links and steps tested before they ship.

AI workflows that do real work: research, drafting to a standard, verification, with a person checking what matters.
