Mumpy (an alias) describes life as a technical writer in Israel. Mumpy is one of Israel's most humorous technical writers. Given a free hand and a caricaturist she would probably turn otherwise boring manuals into best selling comic books.
"Why am I a Technical Writer" is a collection of stories about why Mike Altman is still a technical writer. According to Mike, "When I started, I knew absolutely nothing about ultra sound machines. Little did I know this was par for the course in this wacky profession!"

Read MoreSite for Israel's professional tech writing and marcom community. Originally based in what has become Israel's 2nd largest R&D center (Yokneam), Elephant brings together technical and marcom writers from all over Israel. Behind the scenes and between meetings, members stay in contact with job offers and leads, joint projects, and professional assistance.
I’m a technical writer with five years of experience, specializing in developer tools, AI products, and security software. My most recent work is end-to-end documentation for an agentic code review platform, covering cloud and self-hosted deployments, Git provider integrations, and configuration references. I’ve also written user guides, API documentation, and release notes for cybersecurity, automation, and analytics companies.
My strongest area is AI-assisted documentation. I set up AI agents like Claude Code to follow a style guide, review pages for quality, and keep docs consistent at scale. I also work docs-as-code with Git, Markdown/MDX, and Mintlify, and I’m comfortable restructuring large documentation sets around the user journey.
Using the wrong technical writer is like using a wrench to open a door, it works, but a door knob is better and cheaper. Elephant was started to help match writers and copy editors with companies where their skills match company needs.
