I was employed part time to write documentation using Markdown, and create sample code in multiple programming languages, demonstrating the use of the RemObjects SDK and associated tools. I also collated, edited, and proofread existing documents; updating them as appropriate. Additionally, I had the opportunity to fix bugs in their macOS tools.
