Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRick Rice is a seasoned senior technical writer with nine years of focused experience turning complex technical and proposal requirements into clear, publishable documentation for IT, AEC, and corporate training clients. He has a proven track record with enterprise and government projects—from API references and DITA-based developer docs to multi-million-dollar RFx responses and environmental impact reports—working with global teams at companies like Veridos, Meta, Cisco, OSIsoft, and Bechtel. Comfortable in both open-source and corporate toolchains, he has published docs using Sphinx/Read-the-Docs and Docusaurus, managed content in GitHub and Azure, and integrated AI into documentation workflows. Based in Grass Valley, CA, he combines strong project management and data-mining interview skills with hands-on authoring, graphics, and publication design to deliver on time and on budget. Less obvious: Rick pairs a journalism and programming background—English/journalism degrees and coursework in Java/JavaScript—with deep experience in regulated sectors, which helps him translate technical nuance into persuasive, compliant proposals.
