Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJim Royal is a seasoned technical writer with 10+ years translating complex research and engineering into clear, engaging documentation and multimedia for audiences across industry and academia. Based in Westmount, Quebec, he currently builds a web-based information hub at Electronic Arts for User-Generated Experiences, and previously served as SEED’s go-to storyteller—producing nearly 50 research videos, dozens of scientific publications, and an internal site cataloguing 50+ projects. He blends hands-on web development, video production, and information architecture—having rebuilt company websites, automated publishing with Confluence/Doxygen, and migrated teams onto unified tools like Notion. Jim’s background in journalism and long history of technical communication mean he not only explains how things work but designs the workflows and training that help teams keep doing it well. An unexpected strength: he pairs creative media (video and photography) with deep technical accuracy, driving both discoverability and adoption of research outputs.
