Writing samples
Personal
I wrote the following tutorials in my personal capacity:
- Deploy your Docusaurus site to GitLab Pages (2026)
- Use PostHog to record user sessions on your GitLab Pages site and link your GitLab project (2026)
- Create a custom subdomain in Amazon Route 53 for a GitLab Pages website (2025)
GitLab
At GitLab, I focused on tutorials and getting started content, for example:
- Manage issues with GitLab Duo Chat (2026)
- Use the personal homepage (2025)
- Make your first Git commit (2022)
From June 2022 to November 2024, I was in a management role at GitLab, therefore I do not have significant writing samples from that period.
I authored over 650 merge requests and reviewed over 1,900 merge requests (links require GitLab credentials).
Amazon Web Services
The content I wrote at AWS has been through rewrites and enhancements since I left in 2020. The following samples demonstrate the breadth of the technical content I was responsible for, including user guides, API, and CLI references.
- VPC peering user guide: entire user guide for the VPC peering feature when it was released, including API reference documentation. Written and maintained from 2014 to 2020.
- Site-to-Site VPN: Merged an administrator guide and a user guide to create a single S2S VPN guide, based on customer feedback.
