Hi,

I'm a technical writer looking to build my portfolio in technical documentation. I've written technical blogs, how-to guides, and white papers for SaaS brands, but I want to gain experience working on back-end documentation.

I'm familiar with Python, HTML, CSS, C/C++ (to some extent), and SQL. Additionally, I've done considerable writing for cloud computing clients, so I have a solid understanding of cloud concepts.

I can work with Markdown, Git, or even Google Docs.

Please let me know if you're working on an open-source project that could use some documentation. Alternatively, if you know of an existing open-source tool that could benefit from documentation, I'd be happy to contact the developer.

I feel like their documentation is pretty solid..?

So Lemmy won't immediately delete comments in other servers. I deleted this comment immediately after posting.

Been there! No sweat, was just checking open source documentation standards hadn’t gotten ridiculously high recently 🙃

Yeah, I love Immich's documentation. Even with my limited experience of YAML files, I was able to host a private web instance of Immich for my photo library.
