Arm

Arm is the the leading global technology provider of processor IP. I develop documentation for the Cortex-A family of processors designed by other Arm engineers.

My job allows me to combine two of my best skills - writing and technical capabilities. I get to use my detail-oriented, cautious eye to edit technical documentation to help other engineers build some fantastic products! I write books in my spare time.

I normally start with a thorough investigation of my emails and then move to develop documentation. This could entail editing a book grammatically, peer review documentation, add technical details to reference manuals, testing the latest IP to understand how it works, consulting with engineers on doc details or debugging documentation code.

I studied Mechanical Engineering for my Bachelor's degree. Then i studied Nanomaterials for my Master's. At the end of my university journey, I became fascinated by the ability to combine my writing and technical capabilities, which led me to the job I now work in. In addition, my current manager who interviewed me is fantastic, which heavily drew me to the job.

I wish to achieve the following 5 things in the future : 1. Progress to a higher level in my career at Arm while collaborating with our Application Engineers 2. Work on and release my trilogy of novels starting with 'The Last Link' 3 Release my third novel, 'The Therapist', in tandem with Faber Academy 4. Finalise the generator design I worked on during my Bachelor's and Master's, and release it to the world 5. Release the design of the bioplastics (based on peanut shells) that I hold a pending patent for

I read a lot, paint, and do yoga to relax and for fun. Reading is my absolute favourite activity and consumes hours of my day at some stages.
