Docs + Code = DevEx ^ AI
I'm Rick Mallery — a Documentation Developer and DevEx Specialist with deep experience documenting and exercising complex products in AI and Electronic Design Automation.
I document APIs, SDKs, and CLIs. I write scripts that test and exercise product features. I build doc systems, automation pipelines, and tools that make developers' lives easier. AI is a force-multiplier for all of it.
