About me

Hello! I’m Siobhán (shiv-awn). I’m a technical writer specialising in high‑quality software documentation.

Technical writing, editing, and content strategy

I turn complex information into accessible technical content, so that your product is easy to understand and use. My areas of expertise include:

• User manual and API documentation
• Tutorials and walkthroughs
• Technical articles and marketing content
• UI text and user journeys
• Internal technical docs and communication

I have over a decade of experience working on projects of all sizes, from major development software to small start‑up tools. I also have experience leading projects, establishing quality processes, mentoring technical writers, and speaking at international conferences.

Information for good

Beyond my client work, I contribute docs and communications support to hobby projects and community events. I also write zines and resources, provide healthcare advocacy, volunteer at games and maker/hacker festivals, and teach music in a local samba band.

Working with me

I’m currently available for long and short-term projects.
