I'm looking for work, so get in touch!

Hello, I'm Eliot! I've worked as a Technical Writer at companies like Microsoft, Sony, and Indeed, and I have a passion for making games.

This portfolio is where I show the documentation projects I've worked on at various companies, games I've made, skills I've learned, and experience I've gained.
