Hi, I'm a language expert with 25 years of experience teaching linguistics and working as senior technical writer, content developer, and editorial project manager across the SaaS, Internet technologies, medical devices, fintech, and blockchain industries, boosting delivery efficiency and ensuring consistent, accurate information for developers, customers, and internal teams. I design and deploy xml-dita cms solutions, including css stylesheet, and advanced scripts such as migration transformation scenarios. I also design AI- driven knowledge bases and mentor teams on instructional language quality, partnering with product and engineering teams to improve information consistency and user experience. Beyond content d’enveloppement, I am a passionate musician and music producer, with a career spanning forty years as a classically trained violinist and composer registered at SACEM since 1980. This project perfectly allies my technical and artistic skills.
