Summary
Harrie Bickle is a Documentation Engineer with 9 years of experience specialising in API documentation, developer tooling, and docs-as-code workflows across fintech, Web3, healthcare, and cloud services. He has owned end-to-end documentation systems—information architecture, OpenAPI/OpenRPC governance, and CI/CD-integrated doc platforms—helping teams ship interactive, testable API docs and maintain a single source of truth. A former system design analyst and high‑school science teacher, Harrie applies a teacher’s mindset to simplify complex, non-linear distributed systems and payments workflows for developer and enterprise audiences. He’s driven practical tooling improvements like Vale linting, YAML-driven spec pipelines, and automated spec rendering, and has led consolidation projects from GitBook to Docusaurus. Notably, his work spans launch-support and marketing as well as technical content—whitepapers, tutorials, and interactive SDK docs—demonstrating an ability to translate deep technical detail into clear product narratives. Based in Edinburgh, he combines academic rigor (PhD-level biology background) with hands-on docs-as-code engineering for developer-first platforms.
