Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBrian Persichitte is an experienced technical writer with eight years focused on translating complex cloud and enterprise software into clear, usable documentation. Currently at Tanium after a long tenure at IBM, he blends hands-on support—troubleshooting build systems, scripting, and CMS configuration—with content creation for APIs, UI products, and developer workflows. He has led small teams, served rotating scrum master duties, and built GitHub Pages and automation that bridge development and site reliability engineers. Comfortable with XML toolchains (DITA, Arbortext, Oxygen), Camtasia narration, and FileNet integrations, he looks for documentation-driven product improvements revealed through support escalations. Based in Arlington, Texas, he pairs an interdisciplinary academic background (Chemistry, English, MBA) with practical Python exposure to tackle both technical detail and user empathy. Colleagues rely on him to make difficult systems learnable and to turn recurring support pain points into lasting content solutions.
