Senior Technical Writer

I was born in Spain.

But I spent almost a decade living

abroad in
4 countries.

Now I'm that technical writer you bring in early, as soon as your company:

  • starts growing fast
  • goes from ~100 to 1,000+ people
  • expands into new countries

What I do

I bring three roles into one:

I write software documentation for both end-users and devs

I build systems that let writers do 3 times more with the same team

I get documentation translated for key European markets

And a clear mission:

I ultimately empower people worldwide to use and master new, daunting software — because these days, knowing your way around the right tool, whether that's an HR, marketing, or AI tool, can mean the difference between landing a job or not.
