Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJessica Canepa is a Staff Technical Writer with 11 years crafting developer and product documentation at companies including Netlify and GitHub, currently driving clarity for Enterprise Workflow products and in-product content. She pairs closely with designers and engineers to prototype docs before features are built, using early drafts and customer testing to shape simpler mental models and catch edge cases. Her background in open source and localization work (including an Outreachy internship and Mozilla apprenticeship) informs a pragmatic approach to documentation, version control, and CI for docs sites. Fluent in Git workflows and comfortable editing strings in code, she also finds creative uses for obscure Git commands to unblock releases. Based in Portland, she blends technical rigor with a human-centered voice and a curiosity about how AI agents can thoughtfully augment product content.
