Portrait of Samuel Emediong Thomas

01 About

I'm a technical writer with a bachelor's degree in Electrical & Electronics Engineering, which means I'm comfortable getting into the weeds of an API, a design system, or a piece of infrastructure before I ever write a sentence about it. Over the past few years I've worked as a contract and remote technical writer for teams in Israel, Poland, and France, building developer documentation from scratch, migrating docs platforms, auditing other companies' docs, and writing UX and product documentation for design teams. I care about docs that get used: clear structure, tested steps, and content that matches how people actually search and read.
