Writing Portfolio

UEFI Specification

Edited, formatted, and contributed to UEFI Specification 2.9A and 2.10 as a Technical Writing Intern at Intel. Practiced writing for technical software specifications, specifically in the firmware domain; communicated extensively with SMEs in the multi-organization UEFI working group. Document was written in reStructuredText and then compiled into LaTeX and HTML/CSS formats using the Sphinx documentation generator. Edits were made using a combination of reStructuredText, LaTeX, HTML/CSS, and Python/regex scripting.

D&&D Merchant Technical Report

Wrote a formal software report on a predictive neural network I developed to price items in tabletop role-playing games. In implementing the model I practiced web scraping, data cleaning, NLP, neural network development, and evaluation. Writing the report improved my skills in technical writing for machine learning as well as data visualization and research. D&&D Merchant itself was implemented using the PyTorch machine learning framework; the documentation was written in LaTeX with visuals created using MS Visio and the Matplotlib Python library.

Tianocore Training Guides

Wrote Markdown lab guides for firmware development courses as part of the Tianocore training program as a Technical Writing Intern at Intel. These internal training courses teach low-level programming to developers at Intel through labs and corresponding lab guides, and are made openly available through a public GitHub repository.

Gbiv Documentation

Created documentation for a student-led project where we developed a photo color analysis web application. The documentation included requirement engineering, design specification, user docs, and developer's manual. Wrote this documentation in plaintext reStructuredText files stored in a shared GitHub repository. These plaintext files were later compiled into pdf and HTML files using the Sphinx documentation generator.

Report Bayesian vs. Frequentist Statistics Curriculum

Conducted a formal qualitative investigation into the relative benefits of Bayesian versus frequentist statistics in introductory statistics courses. Practiced writing about a highly technical topic in a report aimed towards a non-technical audience. Improved skills in academic research, data visualization, and statistics. Written in LaTeX and then compiled into a pdf with clickable links.

Wikipedia Editing

Contribute to Wikipedia as a hobby, both adding new content and improving/editing existing content. Have improved skills in professional writing within an open community across a wide variety of domains. Learned wikitext markup language and became very familiar with best practices when contributing to a shared documentation site.

ACPI Specification

Edited, formatted, and contributed to ACPI Specification 6.4A and 6.5 as a Technical Writing Intern at Intel. Practiced writing for technical software specifications, specifically in the firmware domain; communicated extensively with SMEs in the multi-organization ACPI working group. Document was written in reStructuredText and then compiled into LaTeX and HTML/CSS formats. Edits were made using a combination of reStructuredText, LaTeX, HTML/CSS, and Python/regex scripting.

DATSR Documentation

Wrote documentation for student-led web application that functioned as an online time series data repository. Practiced technical writing for user guides and developer manuals. Documentation was written in plaintext reStructuredText and then compiled into HTML and LaTeX/pdf documents using the Sphinx documentation generator.
