Erin Vang
Principal Pragmatist, Global Pragmatica LLC®, USA
Unlike in Europe where tech comms is a recognized profession with a rigorous program of study, in the USA a lot of tech comms people studied literature and then reinvented themselves to make money. For me, degrees in music performance and mathematics led to writing books on statistical software, and it all devolved from there.
Justyna Tofilska

Besides working, I’m a really active person: I like swimming, snowboarding and cooking 🙂 I’m also in love with French culture as I graduated from a bilingual high school in Łódź, so try to guess what my favorite holidays direction is!

Nuno Grazina & Jorge Leal
Technical Knowledge Manager & Technical Writer, Feedzai, Portugal
Nuno Grazina is a Software Engineer by education but was never a great programmer so he started developing an actual career in Technical Communication in 2011. We can guess he has a natural taste for explaining things in simple terms, so why not merge that and engineering and make a living out of it?
Jorge Leal is a literature student that always liked technology and thought that it would be cool to be able to spend his life writing about it and explaining it to people. He found out Technical Writing is a thing and never left it once he got into it. He sometimes likes to give documentation that literature-student-cliché touch.
At Feedzai, their mission is to enable anyone to write the docs (yes, engineers can write!), help scale the company via great content, and make apparent the often overlooked value of software documentation.

Paweł Krentowski
Technical Lead, 3di, Poland
I have worked different jobs in different industries, but they all had one thing in common: I worked with people, and I loved it!
A geek at heart, and a literature specialist by education, I used my love for the human experience to power my journey into the world of technology; after all, technology is driven by people, for people.
When I worked as a technical writer I started exploring the DocOps aspects of content creation, and I became a strong advocate of innovation and automation in the world of content creation and delivery.
In my job, I strive to make the work of the technical writer as easy as possible, creating tools and solutions so you don’t have to.
