Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolNick Trogh is a Senior Technical Writer for Visual Studio Code with 11+ years of experience in developer relations, technical writing, and software engineering across Microsoft and enterprise consulting. He blends hands-on engineering background (from .NET, Python, Kubernetes and ML work) with content strategy, SEO, and community-driven documentation management. At Microsoft he drives docs for a globally used product—contributing to the vscode-docs build and DevOps processes to keep large multimedia assets and CI flows healthy. Comfortable on stage and in code, he has led developer engagement programs, delivered conference talks and run hackfests that turn customer feedback into product improvements. Based in Waregem, Belgium, he pairs deep technical credibility with a lifelong learner’s humility, often flagging "known unknowns" as a catalyst for continuous improvement. Outside the obvious, he also co-organizes community meetups and diversity initiatives that scale technical inclusion locally and online.
