Bio
Stuart Brougher
As a presales manager, I never would have expected that one of my go-to resources would be my startup’s tech writer. But wow – Cody was absolutely invaluable to my organization. Cody is proactive, easy to work with, and gives 110% to everything he does. He helped my team out on many customer-facing projects, from marketing material to RFPs. Cody is not only an excellent writer, but he was able to understand all of the nuanced product enhancements from our engineering teams and translate them into valuable, consumable material for our clients.

Cody's curiosity and technical aptitude makes for a killer combo when it came to producing technical writing. Not only would he want to dive deep into the product to understand it to make good documentation, he would also synthesize information from across different people and sources into one coherent thought. Many of the documentation he created helped us gain credibility within our prospects and ultimately help to close more deals. A bonus with Cody was he helped me vet if the memes I created landed or not.

I lead the documentation effort at Tonkean, helping to build and enhance our docs. My main goal is to enable and empower shared services teams, like legal and procurement, to build great experiences for their users, from simple intake and triage automations to complex end-to-end workflows across departments—all without writing code.
