Summary
Mike Sanko is a seasoned technical communicator and information strategist with 25+ years designing topic-based, intelligent content grounded in minimalism and DITA standards. He blends content strategy, UX design, and prototyping to create product-integrated help systems that harmonize with application UIs, having led implementations at Trend Micro, HPE, Okta, Oracle, and ConsenSys. Comfortable in agile teams, he champions single-source publishing and modular authoring to make documentation adaptable across cloud, enterprise, and blockchain platforms. His work spans API docs, deployment and provisioning guides, and embedded "panel" and "popup" help systems for complex security and infrastructure products. A practical presenter, he has spoken on Ethereum and on how intelligent content can empower AI/chatbots—bringing a rare cross-section of content architecture and emerging tech insight. Based in Youngstown, Ohio, he pairs hands-on documentation craft (samples at his GitHub) with strategic leadership in content delivery.
