It's-a me, Martina!
I am a programmer-turned-technical writer and I specialize in developer documentation and DocOps. I love long walks on the beach and complex legacy code bases.
Are you in a documentation pickle? Message me on LinkedIn or drop me a line at 📨 martinawelander@gmail.com.
How can I help you?
Developer docs written by a developer
I write developer docs that are relevant and useful, with examples that work. As a bonus, I can act as customer zero for new features, APIs, or workflows.
DocOps: Docs-as-code and API docs in your existing CI/CD pipeline
I can help you extend your CI/CD pipeline to generate and publish API docs, or help you start managing your docs as code: everything from migrating to source control to automatically publishing changes on merge.
Old codebase, no API documentation? No problem.
Give me your codebase, minimal context, and a cup of coffee or 10 - I'll reverse-engineer it to create comprehensive API documentation.
Developer onboarding docs
Onboard me as a new developer - I will ask annoying questions and document eveything you wished you had written down 10 hires ago.
Distill complex systems into digestible overviews
Sometimes it's not enough 'just to read the code' - especially if you have a large, distributed system. I craft overviews that everyone from product owners to QA to new developers can benefit from.
All your technical writing needs
API reference, architecture overviews, tutorials, or detailed procedures - I create documentation that developers trust and actually use.
If you want to add a bit of 💅creative flair to your docs, I also draw comics and write technical blog posts with hand-drawn illustrations.
PS — I know how to exit Vim.
