Abdullah Tarawneh

Information Architect

You're the first person I've met that keeps a spreadsheet of their lightbulbs.

Growing up with math, books, and computers from the age of 3, Abdullah has been hungry for knowledge almost their entire life, and they're always looking for new things to learn. Abdullah is driven to learn everything they can about everything there is, and to organize that information and that experience into logical and digestible frameworks. Abdullah spends most of their time thinking about how various things could be made better, constantly optimizing things in their mind -- although there's a good chance that they'll come up with something pretty good the first time around. Abdullah is willing to work with stakeholders and consumers alike to facilitate efficient and concise communication and understanding. Consider Abdullah today for your professional Information Architecture needs.

Wireframes

The Mastodon documentation is heavily content-driven, so the sidebar contains a section hierarchy, while the main content is in a second column.

Content audit

The existing content was split apart and reorganized under new sections. Major parts were rewritten. See the case study URL for more.

Bless you for being here to work on the docs btw. It's a big relief.
