Technical Writing ToolBox

Hello Reader!

Welcome to my blog on Technical Writing.

My name is Gurpreet Singh. I’m a technical writer DevOps Engineer based in Toronto, Canada.

I have completed a post graduate certificate in technical communication from Seneca College, Toronto in 2011 but have transitioned from Technical Writing to the exciting world of DevOps Automation.

I develop automation as a DevOps Engineer using tools like AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, Puppet, Jenkins, Artifiactory, Git, Python, and Shell scripting. Visit my blog on DevOps at  https://DevOpsBlog.ca.

The two electronics test and measurement instruments you see in the above photograph are two products that I documented (both hardware and software documentation) when I worked as a senior technical writer in the hi-tech Semiconductor/Electronic Design Automation (EDA) industry. The instrument at the top is a high precision LCR meter (with a small blue LCD display), and the instrument below it is a RF Network Analyzer (Agilent ENA that measure S-parameters).

My engineering background helps me to understand the working of such complex software and hardware products, and a master’s degree in consultancy management helps me to work effectively with internal and external clients. You can view the online help I developed for Agilent ENA series here (it has over 6000 pages and includes API documentation for SCPI commands).

I love writing. Period. There is nothing else in the world that attracts me more than the magnetism of words. DevOps is another topic that interests me a lot and is becoming my next favorite.

I also love public speaking and training, and have been associated with Toastmasters International from a long time.
