Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolXavier Borderie is a Senior Technical Writer and Developer Engagement Specialist with over a decade of hands-on experience shaping developer-facing content, knowledge systems, and community programs. He has led tech content and UX writing initiatives at scale—most recently at Chiliz and previously as Head of Tech Content at PayFit—where he built documentation practices, ran internal tech conferences, and hired teams to professionalize content and knowledge management. A long-time open source advocate from his PrestaShop days, he combined documentation ownership with community diplomacy and even performed localization work to improve French-language UX across modules. Comfortable switching between deep API references and concise microcopy, he’s also driven Notion-driven knowledge redesigns and launched editorial programs that surface engineering work. Based in Paris, Xavier blends editorial rigor with product empathy, and he’s as likely to edit a developer guide as he is to coach engineers on writing better docs. An early career background in developer journalism gives him a knack for explaining complex technical topics clearly to varied audiences.
