Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolDoug Schwartz is a senior technical writer with two decades of experience crafting SDK and developer documentation, notable for being the first writer hired by AWS to work exclusively on an SDK (the AWS SDK for Ruby). He has a proven track record of turning sparse guides into comprehensive developer resources—adding dozens of code examples and expanding a 30-page guide into a 150+ page reference with tested examples across Ruby, Go, JavaScript, .NET, and Rust. Doug combines hands-on coding (authoring examples, unit tests, and automation scripts) with a user-first mindset, obsessing over what developers need and when they need it. His work spans startups and hyperscalers, including Grafbase, NVIDIA, Microsoft, and AWS, and he’s comfortable porting samples between languages and improving doc toolchains for Windows and Linux. Based in Port Ludlow, WA, he describes stubbornness as a strength—relentlessly iterating until documentation truly serves the developer.
