About

Olivier Carrère

Technical writer at Unity, specialising in docs-as-code, DITA XML, and AI-assisted documentation workflows.

I work on documentation systems that scale — from structured authoring pipelines to multi-product content architectures. My focus is on structure, automation, and the right tooling choices for long-lived technical content.

This blog is where I publish practical articles on the tools and methods I use daily: markup languages, content modelling, AI in the documentation workflow, and the craft of writing clearly for technical audiences.

Domains of expertise

Docs-as-code

Git-based workflows, CI/CD pipelines for documentation, Markdown and lightweight markup at scale.

Structured authoring

DITA XML topic-based writing, content reuse strategies, single-sourcing, and information typing.

AI-assisted workflows

Integrating LLMs into documentation pipelines — translation, first-draft generation, and quality checks.

Information architecture

Taxonomy design, content modelling, and navigation systems for large documentation sets.

YAML & data-driven docs

Generating structured content from YAML data sources; separating content from presentation.

Developer documentation

API references, SDK guides, onboarding docs, and code-adjacent content for technical audiences.
