Hello! I’m Kevin Strider, a technical writer with 8+ years of experience across IT services, financial services, social media, security, utilities, manufacturing, logistics, and construction. I translate complex technical concepts into clear, user-friendly documentation that helps engineers, operators, and customers succeed.
With a strong grounding in software and database design (B.Sc. Hons Computer Science), I enjoy shaping style guides, improving information architecture, and delivering engaging training materials—from API references and runbooks to video tutorials.
