## Technical Writer CV
Target: Remote Technical Writer / Documentation Specialist

## Professional Profile
Technical documentation specialist focused on turning complex notes, systems, and workflows into clear user-facing and internal documentation. Strong fit for SOPs, API-adjacent docs, engineering reports, diagrams, help content, and auditable process notes.

Brings a practical delivery style focused on research, drafting, consistency checking, formatting, and QA, with all employer-facing claims grounded in verified work, samples, and demonstrated capability.

## Core Value Proposition
- Prepares clear technical documentation and structured reports with traceable assumptions, evidence, and next actions.
- Writes engineering reports that turn system observations into risks, diagrams, recommendations, and review notes.
- Builds SOPs, diagrams, and process notes that make technical work easier to review, repeat, and hand over.
- Produces clear technical documentation from complex notes, with structure, wording, and evidence kept easy to review.
- Prepares auditable reports, SOPs, diagrams, and documentation packs, with structure, wording, and evidence kept easy to review.
- Creates documentation that turns rough technical material into concise, usable guidance.

## Role-Relevant Expertise
- SOPs, user guides, technical reports, knowledge-base articles, and process documentation
- Turning technical notes into concise, auditable instructions
- Diagram-led explanation for engineering and software workflows

## Target Company Fit
- Role need addressed: clear technical documentation, knowledge-base content, and source-of-truth process notes
- Role need addressed: proof-led technical reporting with assumptions, limitations, and next actions made explicit
- Application angle: lead with technical writing, engineering-report, automation-documentation, and evidence-organisation capability
- First-week contribution: clarify the highest-friction workflow, prepare a source-of-truth outline, produce a first clean draft, and return review notes with open questions.

## Professional Experience
### Technical Documentation and Systems Specialist
Self-employed / Freelance | 2023-Present

- Produced SOPs, knowledge-base content, API-adjacent notes, diagrams, and engineering documentation from raw technical material.
- Prepared documentation packs with assumptions, risks, recommendations, and action lists so remote stakeholders could review and reuse the work quickly.
- Produced technical reports, documentation packs, diagrams, summaries, and workflow notes for complex material, with emphasis on clarity, traceability, and practical next actions.
- Translated technical inputs into structured deliverables aligned to clear technical documentation, knowledge-base content, and source-of-truth process notes.
- Built repeatable AI-assisted workflows for research, drafting, QA checks, formatting, and evidence organisation, while retaining human accountability for final delivery.

## Selected Evidence and Project Work
- Marine electromechanical assessment reports with system breakdowns, diagrams, risks, and recommendations.
- Structured technical documentation sets covering SOPs, API-adjacent notes, and delivery checklists.
- Technical proof-paper samples created to demonstrate clear method, constraints, and quality controls.
- Demonstrated capability in technical documentation and structured reporting.
- Demonstrated capability in engineering report writing.
- Demonstrated capability in SOP, diagram, and process documentation.

## Technical Toolkit
Python, C#, JavaScript, TypeScript, Playwright, SpecFlow, ReqnRoll, Cucumber, Azure DevOps, Git, Markdown, JSON, SolidWorks, Fusion 360, FreeCAD, Blender, Photoshop, After Effects, Premiere, Illustrator, Onshape, Rhino, NX, Creo, Catia, Inventor, Substance Suite, API testing, pipeline integration

## Portfolio Evidence
- Suggested proof paper: Turning Complex System Notes into Auditable Technical Documentation
- Portfolio samples and proof papers are original demonstration work unless separately marked as client work.
- References can be provided only where real contacts are available; otherwise Gavin leads with samples, proof papers, and practical demonstrations.

## Education and Professional Development
Self-directed technical training in systems engineering, CAD and mechanical design, software development, automation testing, legal procedure support, data modelling, and creative/VFX workflows.

## Additional Information
- Does not claim degrees, certifications, security clearance, chartered status, qualified legal status, or named client history unless separately verified.
- Uses Geevis as an internal AI-assisted workflow; Gavin St. Rose is the applicant and accountable delivery contact.
