Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolTod Hilton is a Senior Technical Writer with nine years in software documentation and over two decades of hands-on engineering and operations experience spanning Microsoft, HBO, Google, and Netflix. He translates complex technical systems into clear, actionable content—often digging into code, interviewing engineers, and producing docs that directly impact product adoption and revenue (e.g., driving ARR through a revamped CUD documentation set at Google). Comfortable in both SRE/Dev and authoring roles, Tod has built tooling to colocate docs with code and has automated publishing pipelines to make engineering participation easier. He combines an accountant’s attention to detail with a systems engineer’s troubleshooting instincts, enjoys mentoring writers and interns, and favors real-world connections when expanding his professional network.
