* Record scratch ** freeze frame*
Yep, that's me. You’re probably wondering how I got here. Well, to answer that we’ll have to go back a bit…
Hey there! My name is David and I am a technical writer for SaaS companies with experience in UX and product marketing copy. This role fell into my lap while working as a customer success manager, and I quickly concluded it was a role I had been training for my whole life.
I have an interesting job history to say the least; a tour guide to a historically site, professional musician, to a bell hop at a five-star, five-diamond resort - and many more in between. Little did I know that my scattered employment history would give me the tools to become a writer for SaaS platforms.
Instead of going too far into the weeds, here are some things I love about what being a tech writer:
Learning new and complex concepts and turning them into digestible content for the average person.
Using creative problem solving to make processes easier for everyone.
Working alongside creatives to come up with an easy-to-grasp experience.
Researching and analyzing user data to gain better understanding, then using it to create better content.
Planning, organizing, making to-do lists, and setting standards of procedure for more efficient workflows.
Finding the perfect word to replace three others.
On a more personal level, I love spending my days outside with my wife and dog, writing and performing music with my friends, and tinkering with vintage electronics.
Thanks for reading :)
