Documentation that ships with your product, not after it.

I help makers of developer-focused tools document their products, either on a per-project basis or as an ongoing fractional partner. Pick the engagement that fits where you are.

01

How we can work together

Documentation audit
A clear-eyed look at what's working and what isn't.
ONE-TIME

I review your existing docs for structure, accuracy, findability, tone and deliver a report with prioritized recommendations. Ideal if you're not sure where to start, or if you want a second opinion before a bigger investment.

duration = 1–2 weeks deliverable = written report
Best for: teams with docs that grew organically and need a diagnosis before a plan.
Project engagement
Scoped, deadline-driven documentation work.
FIXED SCOPE

API references, CI/CD integration guides, incident response playbooks — built to a defined scope and delivered on milestones. Good for a discrete need that doesn't yet call for an ongoing relationship.

duration = scope-dependent payment = milestone-based
Best for: a defined project with a clear finish line.
Fractional documentation partner
Senior-level docs support, without the full-time hire.
RETAINER

Ongoing support covering new feature docs, updates to existing content, and ad hoc writing help as your product evolves — integrated into your workflow like a team member, without a full-time seat.

commitment = 3-month minimum hours = 5 / 10 / 20 per month
Best for: teams that need documentation to keep pace with shipping.
INVESTMENT

Engagements are scoped and priced around the outcome — a call first makes sure the fit (and the number) is right before we begin.

Getting started

1

Discovery call

A 30-minute conversation about your product, your docs situation, and what "good" would look like.

2

Scope & proposal

A written scope of work — what's included, what's not, timeline, and price — so there's no ambiguity going in.

3

Work begins

Regular check-ins, drafts shared early, and a workflow that fits how your team already ships.
