PROFILE

Gerard Forns

Worked on enhancing documentation quality and upgrade guidance for Kong/docs.konghq.com and kumahq/kuma repositories. Focused on OpenTelemetry integration, updated the changelog to reflect the deprecation of config.endpoint and corrected a typo in the deprecation notice for config.batch_flush_delay, clarifying migration steps for users. In the Kuma project, addressed a formatting issue in UPGRADE.md related to MeshTimeout, ensuring accurate rendering and reducing upgrade confusion. Employed Markdown for technical writing, applied documentation QA standards, and used git-based patching to maintain traceability. The work prioritized user clarity, reduced support inquiries, and aligned with established documentation review processes across both projects.
