About Me
"An investment in knowledge pays the best interest." - Benjamin Franklin
The Mission: From Documentation to Intelligence
With over 20 years of experience in technical writing and knowledge management, I have transitioned from creating static documents to building dynamic knowledge ecosystems. My mission is to help organizations modernize their content authorship for the age of Generative AI. Whether it’s optimizing internal knowledge for LLM readiness or refining RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) use cases, I ensure your data is the high-quality fuel your AI initiatives require.
My Value: The Bridge Between Data and Human Understanding
Organizations often face "knowledge silos"—critical information trapped in unstructured formats that AI cannot effectively leverage. I step in as a Knowledge Optimization Strategist to:
-
Audit & Engineer: Transform legacy content into structured, AI-ready assets.
-
Implement KCSv6: Deploy Knowledge-Centered Service frameworks to ensure content is captured at the point of interaction.
-
Scale Change: Lead cross-functional teams through the cultural and technical shifts required for modern AI governance.
The Foundation: A Career Built on User Experience
My journey began in the early 2000s at Dell, working directly with customers. This "front-line" perspective taught me that technical content is only as good as its ability to solve a problem. That passion for clarity led me to Dell’s headquarters in Austin, where I began simplifying complex systems—a skill that has since evolved into managing sophisticated information architectures for SaaS, Fintech, and Biotech leaders.
A Relentless Learner in a Fast-Moving Field
I consider myself a Professional Learner. To stay at the forefront of the industry, I have immersed myself in:
-
AI/LLM Workflows: Python-based tutorials, Jupyter Notebooks, and prompt engineering.
-
Technical Breadth: From SDLC and database management to regulatory compliance and mechanical engineering.
-
Strategic KM: Adult learning theory, taxonomy design, and metadata schema optimization.
The Evolution
My career has moved beyond the "page" and into the "platform." Today, I don’t just manage content; I build the strategic infrastructure that allows self-service experiences to thrive. By combining data-driven insights with KCS principles, I help you turn your company's knowledge into its most potent competitive advantage.
