Summary
Katrina Prosise is a Technical Writer with 13 years of experience translating between engineers and users, currently shaping developer-facing documentation at Foundries.io from her base in Ithaca, NY. Deeply rooted in open source since the ’90s, she combines hands-on knowledge of OSS licenses and compliance with practical engineering chops earned building Yocto-based custom Linux systems. A command-line purist who still codes in C and tinkers with tiny OSes on small hardware, she brings rare empathy for both code and audience when designing doc workflows and QA processes. At Togán Labs she led documentation versioning, style-guide creation, and maintained git-backed doc sites—work that reflects her knack for marrying technical rigor with clear communication. Outside work she’s a banjo player, a detail that hints at her patient, iterative approach to complex problems.
