Senior🎓
Top SchoolStetson Robinson is a senior technical writer with eight years of experience crafting developer- and enterprise-focused documentation, currently leading AI-driven GoogleSQL documentation and training at Google. He blends editorial rigor from a PhD in Editorial Studies with hands-on developer collaboration, having evangelized developer-first authoring and modular single-sourcing at Red Hat to scale open-source documentation workflows. Comfortable with DITA/XML toolchains, API and SDK docs, and usability testing, he has improved discoverability and navigation in large projects and contributed documentation improvements to the Apache KIE (Drools/OptaPlanner/jBPM) repo. Known for pairing communication theory and Global English practices with pragmatic UX thinking, he focuses on reducing user friction so teams spend less time learning tools and more time building. Based in Lindon, Utah, he brings an unusual mix of academic depth in linguistics and semiotics plus practical experience optimizing publishing toolchains across enterprise and open-source ecosystems.
