About this Gig

Are your veteran developers retiring, leaving you with decades of undocumented legacy code?

I am a technical writer with roots in enterprise mainframe development dating back to 1993. I bridge the massive communication gap between legacy architecture and modern software teams.

What I can do for you:

  • Code-to-Text Mapping: Turn old COBOL, PL/1, or Natural logic into clear, human-readable functional specifications.
  • API Bridge Documentation: Document the modern API endpoints that straddle your legacy databases (DB2, Adabas, Datacom) and your new apps.
  • System Runbooks: Document JCL workflows, batch processing schedules, and CICS transaction flows for your incoming engineering team.
  • Knowledge Transfer Guides: Create comprehensive internal documentation to ensure your system knowledge isn't lost when senior staff retire.

Let's secure your system's future. Message me today to discuss your project scope.
