I author, update and maintain technical documentation
techwriters.eu is a project by Toma Kashamov for technical documentation services. I compose, edit and maintain technical content, mostly for IT projects, and I consult on documentation strategy and content management.

My mission is to make technical documentation better and adjust it to the processes of your organization.

Any format, any system, any tool
I can work with any format or toolset. For text documents, I recommend markdown and doc-as-code platforms.
- good old Word files: DOC, DOCX or ODT
- XML-based WYSIWYG authoring tools, like Madcap Flare
- doc-as-code platforms, like MkDocs, Slate, Docusaurus, Jekyll
- web portals, such as Zendesk, Helpdesk, Hubspot
- wikis, including Confluence and Wikimedia
If your project is too large, I can help recruit the workforce necessary to deliver.
Work
The portfolio is minimal at the moment. For now it holds CV templates, a few blog articles and some web experiments.
CV templates
A few variants of my actual CV, prepared with W3.CSS, HTML, CSS and markdown.
- W3.CSS CV, light theme Web template, light background.
- W3.CSS CV, dark theme The same template on a dark background.
- Markdown CV, HTML Plain layout from a markdown source. Not responsive.
- Markdown CV, PDF The same markdown source, printed to PDF.
Web experiments
Demo work. Some of it is rendered differently by different browsers.
- Widgets Crypto prices, news, weather and sports, embedded on one page.
- Character converter Cyrillic and Latin, converted in the browser.
- Blog space The index of the articles below.
Sample doc portals are planned and not published yet.
