This portfolio isn’t all encompassing; it’s a sample of things that I’ve done as a technical writer.
Break/Fix and how-to articles
| All about the Xbox Adaptive Joystick (click to download Word doc) This document describes how to use the Xbox Adaptive Joystick, which is a joystick create for people with special mobility needs. To create this I interviewed engineers and SMEs, and worked with the Accessibility Team to find the most relevant points. This is a document that could have been much longer (it’s already 18 pages!), but I kept it to this length to try and keep the reader from being overwhelmed. The final product is here (note that it may have been updated since I worked on it): All about the Xbox Adaptive Joystick |
| Link your social network accounts to Xbox (click to download Word doc) This is a very standard how-to document that explains, in very plain English, how to connect your social media accounts to your Xbox account in different methods and appliations. The final product is here (which may have been updated): Link your social network accounts to Xbox |
| Get to know your Xbox Series X|S Wireless Controller (click to download Word doc) Another somewhat complex article that details the functions of the Xbox Seriex X|S controller. This required many images and sessions with SMEs to determine that all inputs and buttons were listed correctly. The final product is here (which may have been updated): Get to know the new Xbox Wireless Controller |
White papers, system design specifications, and other guides
| Software Assurance Benefits Guide This guide was written for the Volume Licensing Service Center division of Microsoft Office Business. I was tasked with creating a document that outlined how to use Software Assurance Benefits and how to get support. |
| TransPOD System Design Specification I created this for a company called Novax in Vancouver, British Columbia, as part of their RFP for a stoplight technology that allowed buses to pass through intersections more quickly. |
