I'm Marty Hernandez Avedon. I'm a dev with a background in graphic design and writing.
I currently write technical docs for Microsoft and the Wikimedia Foundation. In early 2019, I interned with Wikimedia, where I updated 24 MediaWiki API docs, and created a demo app and tutorial. In 2018, I apprenticed at Microsoft, and previous to that, I worked on mobile apps and tutored adults in Swift/iOS.
Feel free to get in touch with me. I love working with new coders and supporting other folks from "untraditional" backgrounds (whatever that may mean).
