About
Hi! I’m Jenny O’Shaughnessy, a technical writer and information developer with 14+ years of experience creating and editing complex technical and developer content for semiconductor and embedded systems products. I enjoy turning dense concepts into clear, actionable documentation that helps engineers and customers work more efficiently. I thrive in cross-functional, collaborative environments, and take pride in building editorial guidelines that improve quality, usability, and compliance across product lifecycles.
I lead with curiosity, mentor teammates, and continuously refine processes for structured authoring, CCMS, and docs-as-code practices. I’m passionate about delivering accurate, helpful documentation that aligns with product milestones and supports both software and hardware teams.
