About Me

Hi, I'm Celeste and I'm a hands-on technical writer who makes complex systems easier to understand and easier to use. I'm driven by curiosity, critical thinking, and a deep respect for the people using the tools I document.

With experience across APIs, FIX protocol, agile development, and docs-as-code workflows, I create documentation that's not just accurate; it's useful, scalable, and built with real users in mind.

Whether I'm exploring new technologies, prototyping ideas, or gathering insights from developers and stakeholders, I aim to bring clarity, structure, and thoughtful communication to everything I produce.


What I Do

  • Technical Writing & Documentation Strategy
    I design and write clear, scalable documentation which includes; API guides, FIX specs, user training material, and system overviews.
  • Cross-Team Collaboration
    I build trust and bridge silos, gathering insights from engineers, analysts, and product owners to create cohesive, user-centered content.
  • Hands-On Exploration
    I test things myself, whether that's APIs, developer tools, or workflows. My aim is to understand how things actually work, not just how they're described by others.
  • Docs-as-Code & Dev-Friendly Workflows
    I use modern tools like Markdown, Git, Swagger/OpenAPI, and static site generators to create clean, maintainable docs that slot easily into developer workflows.


My Approach

I bring together structured thinking, curiosity, and a love of teaching. I believe the best documentation doesn't just explain how something works; it helps someone do something better. That means:

  • Clear over clever: People at all levels should be able to understand and make use of it.
  • Practical over perfect: Aesthetics matter, but should not be the main goal of the doc.
  • Insightful over verbose: It's not a novel.
  • Scalable over short-term: Docs should follow structure, reusable snippets and company standards.


My Values

  • Clarity Over Complexity: Distilling complex systems into something approachable.
  • Empathy for the User: Content designed with real people in mind.
  • Critical Curiosity: Always asking why to get to the root of the functionality, problem, design or request.
  • Integrity and Accuracy: Nothing goes out that I wouldn't stand by.
  • Impact with Scalability: Building content that lasts.
  • Sustainable Design Thinking: Balancing short-term wins with long-term maintainability.
  • Cross-Team Connector: Creating unity across tech, product, and support.
