A sampling of my portfolio is given below.

This before-and-after sample shows how I transformed a section for clarity and usability.

My projects during this period were either proprietary and therefore not available to share or collaborative efforts.

HP-UX Workload Manager User's Guide (1999 - 2005: seven editions): Created a task-based manual to assist system administrators in configuring the HP-UX Workload Manager, a product that dynamically allocates resources on a single server to ensure prioritized service-level objectives are met.
HP Process Resource Manager User's Guide (1998 - 2008: eleven editions): Updated manual, ensuring consistent terminology, organizing the material in a more logical and task-based manner, adding a "Getting Started" section, explaining functionality in more detail, and generally making the manual more user-friendly. The associated software partitions system resources to ensure applications receive certain amounts of CPU, real memory, and disk bandwidth.
Society for Technical Communication (STC) Award of Merit.

Process Resource Manager (PRM) release notes (1998 - 2008): Created release notes for the PRM product.
