Supabase
Nostalgic for the days of Geocities, anonymous guestbooks, and Adobe Flash animation websites, I used Supabase to build a modernized version with a poetic twist.
Beck Chan
For Supabase
I’m Beck, poet with a passion for process — helping you empower users by designing and building solutions built to scale.
I’ve designed, implemented, and managed everything from content, support, training, and onboarding architecture for organizations from startups to enterprises.
My methods bridge the gap between product design and user experience, whether that’s advocating for users during early stage development planning, serving as de facto alpha tester and bug fixer extraordinaire, or producing top-quality content that gets users excited about features.
Built with Supabase
I was so excited to join the Supabase team, I designed and built a mobile-responsive Next.js application styled with Tailwind CSS and a backend powered by Supabase, featuring:
- Admin functionality for comment management and customization, dashboard gated via Google OAuth 2.0.
- Built-in rate limiting and profanity filtering, and admin notifications powered by Supabase Edge Functions.
- Docs in MDX with Gemini chatbot, API reference implemented with Scalar.

ValidMind
I was the sole Senior Technical Writer for ValidMind, a generative artificial intelligence financial services startup, where I employed docs-as-code methodologies alongside software engineers delivering documentation as part of product in the same development ecosystem, transforming a minimal set of user guide drafts into a fully idealized and comprehensive knowledge base.
Delivering content as an integrated and integral part of product.
Docs-as-code goes beyond just producing documentation in the same development ecosystem as features — thinking of content as product that’s part of product, a dedication to intuitive content architecture on top of immaculate user resources, and wrapping content and feature storytelling into the definition of done.
At ValidMind, I delivered documentation not just as complete product, but designed and implemented extensible documentation architecture:

Engendering empowered users through effective guidance content.
Along with a love of gratuitous alliteration, I truly enjoy authoring user guidance content. That’s because I believe that great guidance content empowers users, and empowered users get excited about product.
As I authored the bulk of 53% of user content out of many contributors,1 most of ValidMind’s documentation saw my influence at some point. I’ve selected some of my best work to showcase below:
