Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolRome Reginelli is a Documentation Engineer with 12 years of experience building developer-facing docs and tooling for fintech and gaming startups, currently shaping API and developer experiences at Ripple in San Jose. As Ripple’s first tech writer, he designed a documentation toolchain that converts GitHub-flavored Markdown into enterprise-quality web and PDF docs and interactive APIs, enabling partners to integrate with the XRP Ledger. He pairs hands-on backend development and test automation contributions to high-profile open-source projects like xrpl.js and rippled with meticulous editorial skills, improving code, tests, and terminology in the XRPL developer portal. Previously at Disney Interactive he ran Confluence at scale, authored hundreds of operational and API guides, and automated documentation workflows—skills that make him equally comfortable with code, docs, and developer ecosystems. A Pomona College English graduate, he brings a rare combination of technical rigour and literary clarity, often surfacing subtle issues like serialization bugs and ambiguous error messaging that others miss.
