Lemme Doc It - Technical Writing Blog

Welcome to Lemme Doc It! After dabbling in the world of technical writing for some time, I decided to pen down my thoughts. In this space, you'll find my opinion pieces and personal learnings. Read on if you're interested in knowing me.

Who am I

Hiya! My name is Khushi Sharma. I've been a technical writer for the past three wonderful years at Bloomreach.

Where I live

I live in Slovenia, but I'm originally from Delhi, India.

What I love

I've been in love with writing for as long as I can remember. It began with writing alliterative romantic poems under a secret pen name. This love eventually translated into work.

Finding the right writing fit

I freelanced as a writer during college. I also volunteered at a local non-profit to teach English.

After that, I had a brief stint at copywriting. This was an exploratory phase where I wanted to know where I fit in as a writer. Clearly, it wasn't my calling.

Discovering technical writing

It was by sheer chance that I discovered technical writing while reading a tech blog. I was instantly obsessed.

Why, you might ask? Well, I've also been a bit of a tech geek. As a 90s kid, I've indulged in all the technological eras: from the PC revolution to the Gen AI boom.

My first real interaction with a computer was when I was about 7. I vividly remember the rush I felt dragging the cursor to draw a circle in Microsoft Paint. Years later, I felt a similar rush bootstrapping a website using HTML and CSS in Notepad.

You see, technical writing hits the sweet spot for me. It combines my love for writing with my ever-growing fascination with technology.

To pivot from copywriting, I honed my technical skills and secured my first tech writer role at Bloomreach. It was a challenge but a savory one!

And here I am, writing a blog on technical writing. Life comes full circle, doesn't it 😄
