Portrait of Allissa Balint

I'm a Senior Content Engineer with 7+ years in technical communication. I work across developer documentation, UX writing, and structured content systems, and I've shipped docs for interfaces, APIs (REST and GraphQL), CAD software, and hardware.

Recently I have been building Claude agents into the editorial workflow at Liquibase. My work before this has focused on cross-platform doc migrations and API documentation.
