How I can help

Complex technical subjects, written clearly.

Most technical teams have the knowledge, but not the time or the writing skills, to turn it into documents people can easily understand and follow. As an engineer with over 30 years of industry experience, and over 15 years as a technical writer, I bridge that gap. I understand complex technical systems, put myself in the users’ shoes, and deliver documents that are clear, correct and ready to use.

Procedures for critical operations

When a missed step means downtime or an audit finding.

SOPs and Methods of Procedure (MOPs) for pharmaceutical facilities and data centers, written step by step and checked against the actual systems and drawings. Most recently: MOPs for data center electrical work.

Project and validation documents

When a project needs documents that hold up to review.

User requirement specifications, technical specifications, commissioning and qualification protocols, technical reports and handover procedures.

Books, guides and white papers

When you have the expertise but not the time to write it.

Ghostwriting and co-authoring for technical experts and organisations, from research to finished manuscript. Most recently: a book on data centers.

Training content

When knowledge needs to be taught, not just written down.

Course materials, workbooks and video scripts for technical and professional training.
