Claire Mitchell

Hi, I'm Claire Mitchell

I write documentation, test software, and work on accessibility.

For the past two years I've owned test strategy and documentation at Epic Systems, on healthcare software built for a customer in Finland that integrates with Kanta, the country's national health data repository. Before that I was a research assistant in an applied neuroscience lab. Most of both jobs was writing things down carefully enough that other people could use them.

This site is where I keep what I've made. There are writing examples, a few programming projects, and my personal photography.

I'm looking for work in technical writing or digital content management. You can reach me at Jobs@clairejmitchell.com.
