Hi, my name is

Xintong Wang.

I build with words and code.

A tech-savvy documentarian with great interest in software tooling, crafting well-structured documentation that translates complex concepts into clarity.

About Me

I am a technical writer with a passion for web development and a background in applied linguistics. I am especially interested in the intersection of technology and language. I am currently working at a semiconductor company.

I am passionate about continuous learning, highly adaptable to new concepts and tools. I’m proud to be a loyal Coursera explorer! See all my Coursera certificates here.

Here are a few technologies I've been working with recently:
  • Documentation: Asciidoc (asciidoctor-pdf), Markdown (mkdocs), Hugo
  • Automation: Python, Bash, Makefile
  • Version control: Git, GitHub
  • Back-end tools: Django, Flask
  • Front-end tools: HTML, CSS, JavaScript
