"I'm most proud of completely overhauling the technical document library we had at my last employer. For months, my supervisor had been complaining that the tech manuals were out of date. The past tech manual team had been sloppy, and there were massive amounts of updated information that had yet to be included in our library. On top of that, they'd simply stockpiled the required updates by tossing them into an unused closet in the back of our office, resulting in an almost overwhelming mountain of manual updates that had yet to be implemented. I finally managed to convince my boss that what we needed was a focused and uninterrupted block of time where a small team of junior engineers could update all the manuals at once. It was a massive amount of work, but the feeling of pride I got when we put the very last updated manual on the shelf was incredible. Getting this all done reminded me how much I really enjoy a well-organized work environment. I'm proud to say that the library system is still being utilized and has been very successful."
