PROFILE
Michael Jackson
Worked extensively on the EPCCed/eidf-docs repository, delivering end-to-end modernization and ongoing maintenance of Open OnDemand documentation. Focused on restructuring, onboarding improvements, and technical clarity, the work included refining navigation, standardizing terminology, and enhancing user guidance for containerized workflows. Leveraged Python, Markdown, and Git to implement robust documentation pipelines, address dependency management, and ensure consistent builds. Integrated practical examples for Jupyter and RStudio, clarified job scheduling and container orchestration, and improved accessibility through cross-linking and visual assets. This approach reduced onboarding time, minimized support overhead, and aligned documentation with evolving product features and user experience requirements.
