Mike Unwalla's skills
Thank you for considering TechScribe for your software documentation project. This page tells you why you get excellent value from TechScribe.
Dr Mike Unwalla, principal technical writer.
How TechScribe started
In 1999, after four years as a technical writer in the software industry, I decided to work for myself.
Early in my career, I taught English as a foreign language. After that, an MSc and PhD research gave me a good knowledge of software and IT systems. The combination of teaching skills, training skills, English language skills, and technical ability is unusual. Those skills let your technical people talk to me in their language. Then, I write the information clearly for the readers of the documentation.
