Senior🎓
Top SchoolChuck Bigham is a senior programmer writer with 11+ years documenting complex developer-facing APIs at Amazon Web Services and Microsoft, specializing in natural language processing, speech, translation, and Office JavaScript APIs. He combines hands-on coding (JavaScript, Java, C#, REST/SOAP) with a pedagogical approach—treating documentation as teaching—to make intricate web services and SDKs accessible to developers, IT pros, and scientists. At AWS he authors both reference and conceptual content for multiple NLP services, and at Microsoft he produced cross-platform code samples and open specifications under tight deadlines. He excels at cross-functional collaboration, translating product and engineering intent into tests, examples, and polished docs using tools like Oxygen XML and VS Code. Known for building documentation tooling and maintenance plans, he reduces long-term writer workload while improving discoverability and versioning. Based in Redmond with a journalism degree, he blends investigative clarity with engineering fluency to shape usable API experiences.
