Summary
John Kinsky is a developer-first technical writer and documentation strategist with eight years in dedicated authoring roles and over two decades leading content and information systems across Intel, McAfee, and HumRRO. He specializes in migrating large documentation sets and modernizing toolchains—moving content from DITA XML to reStructuredText and automating migrations of thousands of topics—while partnering closely with engineers on CPU, GPU, and FPGA developer samples. At Intel he combined hands-on authoring (API refs, install guides, cookbooks) with analytics and reporting using Power BI and GA4, and at McAfee he led cross-disciplinary teams to shape taxonomy, UX, and CCMS vendor strategy. Based in Newberg, Oregon, he blends documentation architecture, content strategy, and practical developer empathy to reduce costs and speed publication, with a track record of measurable process improvements such as a ~30% drop in translation spend.
