Portfolio Samples IMPORTANT—If you experience any problems opening any of the portfolio files, save the file locally and open it with the appropriate application such as Word, Visio, etc.
ONLINE HELP—Play, Inc. (1998) This is a sample file I developed trying to convince the Product Engineering Director to use RoboHelp to develop the online help systems for our product line. Its only a sample and small at that. Gizmos Help (for I.E., save and then open)*
ONLINE HELP—Intel Corp. (2003) This file was generated from an internal client (Gemini Project) request to rebuild a help utility by stripping it down to the basics, cleaning up grammar and structure, improve clarity, simplify structure and format it such that it would easily sustain future development—all of this on a tight budget and short timeframe. Gemini Help (for I.E., save and then open)*
SOFTWARE REFERENCE AND TUTORIAL DOCUMENTATION—Play, Inc. (1998) This is a software manual I wrote. The software is called Titlewave and is a title/special effects generator for a video production computer called Trinity.  Titlewave PDF
VISIO* CHARTS—Intel* Corp. (2003) Everything done internally at Intel seems to happen on short notice and requires a tight budget. I was asked to diagram a business site on intel.com for a client. Please Note: Display on your PC may be influenced by your Visio settings. Business Computing Web Site Map
MARKETING WRITING—Intel Corp. (2003) I was asked to write an article for Circuit, Intel's Intranet magazine, regarding new Flash compatibility for Netscape browsers. This is a draft I sent to the editor. It is not the finished product. New Flash* Compatibility for Netscape*
MARKETING WRITING—Intel Corp. (2002) I was asked to write an e-mail marketing blast to Xircom customers announcing the acquisition of Xircom by Intel. This is not the final version. Xircom* Email Blast 
DATABASE DEV/DOCUMENT MANAGEMENT—Intel Corp. (2002) During one of my Intel assignments I was asked to develop a system whereby the entire library of technical documents could be catalogued and then easily found and retrieved. I developed a database and connected it to the department Intranet. This is a screen capture of that interface: SDA Document Catalog 
EDITING—Intel Corp. (2002) I was assigned the point of contact for editing some of the Santa Clara campus marketing materials. This file is a PDF draft of a rivet guide brochure (a rivet held the pages together). My task was to make my suggestions and markups on it in Acrobat* and return it to the project manager. Rivet Guide PDF
