Documentation Project Details

Below is a description of some of my documentation projects. 

I worked with ViewPoint Corporation in New York City in 2000 to update their existing documentation for their ViewPoint 3D Photo Studio product. The existing documentation required extensive rewriting, reorganizing and reformatting. This software allows users to create compact 3D models for use on Web sites. I have since worked on several updates to the manual.

I worked with Centerstone software in Cambridge, MA for much of 1999 to produce documentation for their flagship product: APPLIED FMS. This package allows large building management organizations to administer the many resources involved in managing large properties. My projects included paper user guides, documentation updates delivered as Adobe Acrobat PDF files and HTML online documentation.

I worked with a company called Regional Economic Models, Inc. (REMI) on their economic modeling program. This program enables organizations and government agencies to plug in various economic variables to forecast the outcome of a particular economic scenario. I produced a tutorial for their "prerelease version" of the product, then produced the user guide.

For several years, I worked with a software company called Specular International. Among my projects was Specular's Infini-D 4.0 manual. This 400-page manual explains how to use Infini-D; Specular's 3D drawing, rendering and animation package. Although we were working from an existing manual, I had to write much of the material from scratch as the interface changed dramatically for this version while rewriting most of the material we kept from the previous manual.  Specular was sold to MetaTools in 1998.

I worked with a small programming shop called Berkshire Technologies in the spring and summer of 1998 to produce several user guides for a large Boston-based financial services company. These programs were produced with Excel and Visual Basic and helped manage several complex sales tasks. Since then, I have completed several updates to these materials.
