Biography:
I've moved about a bit, both geographically and occupationally. For the latter, I've worked on developer docs for products ranging from Visual Basic to COM to .NET to WebLogic Platform -- to name a few. I've also done some open source work along the way.
Expertise:
I've been working on technical content for a little over a dozen years. Mostly that's been developer documentation -- Visual Basic, COM+ (MTS 2.0), .NET, XML/XSLT/schema, and Java-based web services. On the teams I've been on, the focus has almost always been ease-of-use where the audience was relatively new to a technology. Sometimes that's meant trading off technical depth.
Pointers to stuff I've worked on:
Three chapters of "Building Next Generation Web Services Visually" -- http://www.amazon.com/BEA-WebLogic-Workshop-Building-Generation/dp/076451797X,
XMLBeans docs/samples -- http://xmlbeans.apache.org,
ECMAScript for XML (E4X) docs/samples -- http://e-docs.bea.com/workshop/docs81/doc/en/workshop/guide/xquerymap/script/navHandlingXMLWithECMAScriptExtensions.html,
WebLogic Workshop IDE extensions (Swing) -- http://e-docs.bea.com/workshop/docs81/doc/en/workshop/guide/edk/ide/conDevelopingIDEExtensions.html
