From Translator to Tech Writer: Ivana Devcic's Unexpected Journey into Documentation
In this episode of Technical Writing Uncensored, I sit down with Ivana Devcic, a Croatia-based technical writer with a non-traditional path into the field. From studying English and Swedish to writing for open-source communities and eventually documenting cybersecurity tools, Ivana brings a wealth of insight, humor, and candor to our conversation.
🧠 We discuss:
Her journey from translator to tech journalist to tech writer
The strengths nontraditional backgrounds bring to documentation
Challenges of being the first tech writer at a company
Her side hustle helping teams improve API documentation
The weird world of open source supply chain threats (typosquatting, anyone?)
Advice for new writers — including portfolio pitfalls to avoid

Ivana’s story is a reminder that there’s no one path into technical writing — and that diverse experience makes the community better.
