Hi, I'm Patricia McPhee 👋

Technical Content Manager and Developer Experience practitioner with 15+ years documenting APIs, SDKs, and developer platforms. I specialize in documentation architecture, docs-as-code workflows, and content systems that scale across engineering organizations.

Currently building at PixlnGrid Studios and managing developer documentation for Cigna's internal developer portal, Alchemy, built on Backstage.


🚀 What I'm building

TechWrit AI — Code-aware documentation platform

A SaaS platform that generates structured technical documentation directly from source code, configs, and specs — with style guide enforcement built into the generation layer, not bolted on after.

  • 14 documentation modes spanning generation, audit, and AI copilot workflows
  • VS Code extension with inline style diagnostics and auto-review on save
  • REST API for documentation generation and linting inside CI/CD pipelines
  • Live readability engine with Flesch-Kincaid, Flesch Ease, and Gunning Fog scoring

Stack: React · TypeScript · REST API · VS Code Extension API · Anthropic


UserLens Insights — UX research management platform (beta)

A full-featured platform that consolidates participant management, session recording, and synthesis into a single tool — replacing the fragmented combination of spreadsheets, survey tools, and recording software most research teams rely on.

  • Anonymous participant tracking with NPS and SUS scoring and historical comparison
  • Hypothesis-driven research workflows with structured coverage matrices
  • Session recording with screen capture and mouse-click tracking
  • Affinity mapping workspace that auto-syncs from participant notes

Stack: React · TypeScript · Anthropic
