Summary

Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolOwen Heisler is a software engineer and experienced technical writer with 11 years helping teams turn complex software into clear, maintainable documentation. He specializes in "documentation as code," using Git, lightweight markup (reStructuredText, AsciiDoc, Markdown), and toolchains like Sphinx, Asciidoctor, Pandoc and LaTeX to produce user guides, reference manuals, and white papers. Comfortable with original research and hands-on testing, he develops style guides, templates, training materials, and policy documents that scale with engineering workflows. Based in the United States, he pairs a background in network communications and technology-focused STEM education with practical consulting experience. He’s known for treating documentation as a first-class engineering artifact—versioned, reviewable, and automatable—so docs evolve with code rather than lag behind it. For a portfolio and examples of his approach, he publishes work and services at owenh.net.
