Freelancer profile translated to English.
Back to original languageAbout Édith
Welcome to my profile!
I am a Technical Writer and IT Translation Specialist, and I help SaaS publishers, IT teams, and tech startups create clear, structured, and maintainable documentation.
With a double master's degree in technical communication and over 15 years of experience, I have led hundreds of projects combining technical writing, localization, and documentation redesign.
I collaborate daily with developers, testers, and Product teams in Agile environments and with docs-as-code (Git, Markdown, MkDocs, Hugo). I interview technical experts, test features myself, and consolidate existing documentation, often scattered across various media.
What I bring:
- EN/FR Technical Documentation: User/developer guides, API docs, onboarding flows...
- Creation or complete redesign of a documentation site: choice of tools (MkDocs, Hugo, etc.), information structuring, Git integration, generation of different outputs.
- Bilingualism: English as a working language, both written and spoken, for years (meetings, tickets, reviews, and of course, documentation).
- Meticulous proofreading: creation of a style guide, terminological consistency, clarity, uniform tone, and detection of user-facing ambiguities.
My goal: to make documentation lively, useful... and not just a dusty file at the bottom of a repo. 😉
