Karen Rempel Portfolio
Freelance technical writer specializing in API documentation and developer guides. Her portfolio walks through specific documentation projects with clear before/after framing of the docs problem she solved.
What makes it work
A breakdown of the choices that make this portfolio stand out.
Named documentation problems, not just deliverables
Each case describes the specific documentation gap (missing quickstart, unclear auth flow) before showing the fix — proof of diagnostic thinking, not just writing output.
API-specific specialization stated upfront
A clear focus on API and developer docs tells prospective clients exactly what problem she solves, rather than a generic "I write clearly" pitch.
Before/after documentation samples
Showing the prior state of docs next to the rewritten version makes the value of the work concrete and measurable.
What Technical Writers can take from this
Specific, actionable tips to apply to your own portfolio — no generic advice.
State your specialization clearly (API docs, developer guides, etc.) rather than a generic 'clear writer' pitch.
Frame each case around the specific documentation problem you solved, not just the artifact you produced.
Show before/after samples where you can — it makes writing improvements concrete instead of subjective.
