My Professional Journey
Currently, I work as a Technical Writer at a renowned software development house in Mumbai, India, where I focus on continuously improving myself and refining my ideas. This role has given me invaluable experience, which I hope will lead to more books and further professional growth.
I’ve been in the software industry for over 10 years, primarily focused on commercial application development. For the past 4 years, however, I’ve been deeply involved with open-source technologies, including PHP, MySQL, Joomla, and more.
I have had the privilege of working with multiple technologies, both professionally and through personal research, which has significantly expanded my knowledge and confidence. My technical expertise includes working with Apache, PHP, Perl, MySQL, Oracle, Visual Basic, Java, and several Linux distributions (with Fedora Core being my favorite).
As I continue to expand my knowledge and experience, I have designed, developed, and deployed numerous IT products and solutions, always learning and adapting as I go.
My Approach to Technical Writing
As a Technical Author, I have extensive experience creating professional documentation for the IT industry. My work includes:
– Software Requirement Specifications
– High-Level and Low-Level Design Documentation
– Data Dictionaries
– Use Cases and Test Cases
– User Manuals, Help Guides, and Training Manuals
– System Administrator Guides and Installation Manuals
Over the past seven years, I’ve developed a technical writing style that is user-friendly, well-indexed, and designed to meet the needs of end-users. I’ve crafted this style through research and feedback from hundreds of users, ensuring my documentation is clear, effective, and helpful.
I work closely with project leads and teams to ensure a thorough understanding of each commercial application being developed, crafting design documents that align with project scope and goals. I’m also actively involved in monitoring the lifecycle of each project to ensure that the documentation reflects the highest quality and standards.
Consulting Work
In addition to my writing, I also serve as a consultant for several software houses across India. I help these companies standardize their design, development, and documentation processes, ensuring consistency and excellence throughout each project.
