Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMark Van Ments is a Technical Writer Team Lead with over 40 years in the computer industry, blending project management, business analysis, and technical writing expertise with eight years focused on modern cloud and CI/CD documentation at Mendix. He specialises in customer-facing documentation for cloud deployments, enterprise integrations (SAP, Siemens MindSphere), and runtime operations, and has upgraded public documentation CI/CD using GitHub and Hugo. A pragmatic communicator, he quickly grasps new business and technical domains and consistently frames problems from the customer’s perspective to improve clarity and usability. Unusually, his parallel career as a professional tenor and opera soloist honed his collaborative, improvisational approach to rehearsal and performance—skills he brings to cross-disciplinary teams and international collaboration. Based in Amersfoort with strong conversational Dutch, he is seeking roles in the Netherlands that leverage both his technical documentation leadership and broad lifecycle experience. His contributions to the well-known Mendix docs repository demonstrate steady, detail-oriented stewardship of release notes and documentation quality.
