Portfolio – Selected Work
🎯 At a glance
- Focus: Examples of connector work in MedTech and healthcare that centre on structure, documentation, and processes.
- Scope: Anonymised cases showing how I make technical content, workflows, and research overviews clearer and more usable.
- What this is not: A complete project list or client reference catalogue – it highlights ways of working, not names.
This page provides a short, website‑friendly overview of selected work as a connector and technical writer in MedTech and healthcare. It is based on my internal portfolio workspace, where I maintain more detailed notes, versions, and reflections.
The focus here is on structure and use‑case, not on naming specific organisations.
How to read this portfolio
Each example is described along four questions:
- Context – What kind of environment and problem are we dealing with?
- My role – Where did I contribute, and what was explicitly not my responsibility?
- What I did – Concrete structural / documentation / process work.
- Result – What became clearer, easier, or more robust for the team?
Full, working‑level details (including drafts and alternative versions) are organised in my internal portfolio database.
Example 1 – Structuring a technical description for mixed audiences
Context
A small MedTech team had a long, organically grown technical description of a device and its software. The text mixed:
- implementation details,
- regulatory‑relevant statements,
- and internal design notes.
It was difficult to use the document as a stable reference across engineering, QA/RA, and management.
My role
Support in structure, clarity, and audience separation, not in clinical or regulatory sign‑off. Responsibility for final regulatory correctness stayed with internal RA/QA roles.
What I did
- Split the existing document into a core description and two separate annexes (implementation‑focused notes and internal design rationale).
- Introduced a clear, repeatable outline: overview, intended use, system components, information flows, safety‑relevant aspects.
- Marked sections that are particularly relevant for regulatory and risk documentation, so RA/QA could reference them more easily.
- Simplified wording in key sections so they are understandable beyond the core development team.
Result
- One central technical description usable by both engineering and RA/QA.
- Easier reuse in related documents (e.g. risk analysis input, internal training material).
- Less friction in discussions, because structure and terminology are now shared.
- Review discussions became more focused on substance, less on "where is what" in the document.
Example 2 – Mapping a documentation process from idea to approved document
Context
In an organisation with multiple quality‑relevant documents, there was no shared view of:
- how a new document type is initiated,
- who must review and approve it,
- and how changes should be handled over time.
People experienced delays and confusion, especially at the boundaries between development, quality, and management.
My role
Connector and structure‑supporter: no authority over the QMS itself, but responsible for making flows and roles transparent.
What I did
- Conducted short, structured conversations with key stakeholders (development, QA/RA, management) to collect their current view of the process.
- Created a simple process map from “idea / need for a document” to “approved, stored, and communicated document”.
- Clarified RACI‑style roles (who initiates, who drafts, who reviews, who approves, who needs to be informed).
- Documented decision points and escalation paths in a way that can be embedded into existing quality documentation.
Result
- A shared, visual process description that can be used in onboarding and internal discussions.
- Clearer expectations about who needs to be involved at which step.
- A practical basis for future QMS work, without pretending that a full QMS redesign has already happened.
- The process description could be referenced directly in audit preparation instead of being rebuilt each time.
Example 3 – Targeted research summary for a new MedTech topic
Context
A team needed to understand the regulatory and structural implications of a new topic (for example, a new type of software‑supported feature) but had limited capacity for initial desk research.
My role
Provide a structured first map of the field, not legal advice or final regulatory interpretation.
What I did
- Identified and collected relevant standards, guidance documents, and position papers.
- Prepared a short, referenced overview document with:
- key messages per source,
- a simple comparison table,
- and notes on where different sources focus (risk, process, documentation, roles).
- Suggested where this information might impact existing internal processes (e.g. documentation, risk thinking, handover between roles).
Result
- The team had a clear starting point for discussion with their own RA/QA experts and external advisors.
- Less time spent on “finding the right PDFs”, more time on deciding how to respond.
- A documented base they can later extend or revise as the regulatory landscape evolves.
- Follow‑up work with external advisors could build on one common, referenced overview instead of separate, ad‑hoc notes.
Internal portfolio database
Behind this public overview, I maintain a more detailed internal portfolio in Notion, including drafts, alternative structures, and learning notes.
For an initial conversation, the key point is not the number of projects, but whether the type of work shown here fits your situation.
If needed, I can walk through anonymised examples in more depth during a call.
