Greetings and salutations! My name is Alexander Brain, but I prefer to go by my initials, A.J.
I am a senior at Eastern Washington University in the Technical Communication program, with dual Communication and Philosophy minors. I transferred to EWU in the fall of 2022 after spending some time in the workforce.
I currently work part-time as a technical writer for a local manufacturing company as part of our marketing team. My technical skills include document development, editing, document design, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe InDesign, Madcap Flare, and a high level of proficiency with the Microsoft Office suite. I am a passionate, friendly, and collaborative individual who works best in a team of equals. While I prefer to work collaboratively/democratically, I am also a capable leader if needs dictate.
Prior to my time at EWU, I worked a number of jobs that required hands-on labor. Through those positions I developed an understanding and appreciation of legacy support documentation and repair guides. Part of my role at my current job is identifying areas where our existing documentation lacks clarity and building upon them. I have a critical eye for quality and clarity.
