PROFILE

Kirsten Dearnley

Worked extensively on the MicrosoftDocs/playfab-docs repository to overhaul documentation structure, navigation, and content organization. Focused on improving developer onboarding and discoverability by restructuring table of contents, refining identity and progression documentation, and introducing a centralized What's New section. Addressed build stability and reduced maintenance overhead by cleaning up outdated assets, fixing broken links, and resolving build warnings. Integrated cross-team feedback to align documentation with evolving product features and ensured reliable navigation for platform-specific authentication. Utilized Markdown, YAML, and TypeScript to manage content, update file structures, and implement technical writing best practices, resulting in more maintainable and accessible documentation.
