Because of Michael's demonstrated ability, his skills were utilized to branch into areas outside of his normal scope. He was assigned to be the point person on our side to get the new website launched. This required him to learn how to use new applications and features, redesign pages to maintain the new look and feel, and to continue the branding effort that the public sees.
[In his second year], Michael has continued to impact our branding, quality of documents, visual aids and website. He will be more involved in all aspects of design for the iRCODER project. The goal is to have him work closely with a developer to work on UI design to upgrade the look, language and feel of our main application.

You'd be hard-pressed to find a more talented technical writer than Michael. Having worked with him for close to 10 years at two separate companies, I've had the unique opportunity to watch his career flourish since day one. In that time, he's shown to be highly creative, and a powerful communicator, easily able to empathize with end-users and translate complex information into simple, effective documentation. Always eager to collaborate with the team, whether it's working with other writers, multimedia producers, or software development teams, he's quick to offer feedback and suggest solutions that oftentimes produce amazing results. He'd be a great addition to any team.
