Mano Toth. I build docs that
help developers
ship faster.

Documentation engineer blending technical writing, developer experience, and AI tooling to create systems that help developers learn, build, and succeed.

From Cambridge PhD
to developer docs

I create documentation systems that help developers learn, build, and succeed faster. I currently lead the documentation effort at Axiom, where I design docs-as-code platforms with Git-based workflows, CI/CD pipelines, and AI-assisted content operations.

My path started in academia with a PhD from the University of Cambridge. Then I moved into technical writing and developer experience, drawing on years of research and teaching experience. I've built documentation teams from scratch, redesigned information architectures, and created AI-powered tools that make documentation work better for its users.
