William E. Banks
Technical Writer & Research Engineer
I turn complex systems into clear, actionable docs that ship, scale, and actually get used.
Why Me
Docs-as-code
MkDocs/Antora/AsciiDoc, CI builds, code-tagged snippets, diagram automation (PlantUML/Graphviz).
Developer-first
SDK/API guides, repo workflows, quickstarts that reduce support tickets.
Operates fast
Small teams, high ownership, ship-and-iterate mindset.
About
I'm an engineer-turned-technical-writer with 10+ years across defense and biomedical research, including 5+ focused on developer-facing docs, SDKs/APIs, and docs-as-code pipelines. I collaborate tightly with engineers, product, and marketing; annotate source to generate architectural diagrams; and build CI pipelines so docs ship with code. My favorite work reduces friction for new users and shortens time-to-first-success.
