What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values creativity and collaboration, where I can leverage my technical writing skills to enhance developer engagement and community growth.

With over 6 years of experience in technical writing and developer advocacy, I have a proven track record of creating clear and engaging content that empowers developer communities. My journey has seen me author widely-read articles on platforms like MongoDB Blog and Dev.to, where I have successfully grown my audience to over 29K followers. I am adept at simplifying complex technical concepts into user-friendly documentation, tutorials, and guides that resonate with diverse audiences.

In my role as a Developer Advocate at SeerBit and TechPrane, I designed and executed impactful advocacy campaigns that drove community growth and adoption of modern technologies. My leadership skills were highlighted when I led a group of 33 students in a final-year project, showcasing my ability to collaborate and inspire teams. I am passionate about fostering developer engagement through workshops, hackathons, and high-impact content creation.
