Joined Raymarine, a marine electronics manufacturer, as a Technical Communicator in March 2003 producing a range of user manuals for various projects which include VHF Radios, Hardware and Computer Software. This work ranged from a simple Ethernet coupler to a fully integrated system containing chart plotter, radar, sonar and closed circuit television sub-systems. The range of manuals includes Instal¬lation Guides, Quick Reference cards and reference manuals. These manuals were pro¬duced using Adobe Framemaker 7.0, Illustrator 10.3, PhotoShop 7.0 and Paint Shop Pro. I also converted many of these documents into HTML format for web publication and created help files using Web Works Publisher Professional 7.0. This work included the creation of help documents for integration in the product and web publication. I am also competent in using Visio, Microsoft Office Suite and Microsoft Project.

Joined Thomas Sanderson at Waterlooville as their Technical Author, producing a range of manuals for use by direct sales staff, installation engineers and supervisory staff in both Conservatory Blinds and Patio Awnings divisions, as well as customer information and instruction materials.
