Technical + UX Writer

About Me

Hi, I'm Ley. I'm a software technical writer with 6 years of experience in creating content for developers and end-users. I'm also exploring and building up my portfolio as a UX writer.

I get excited about:
• Designing content that helps people use applications intuitively.
• Providing a frictionless experience through meaningful content and copy.
• Advocating for the use of the Oxford comma and prioritizing readability.

At the moment, I am focused on improving my skills in UX writing, content design, API documentation, and docs-as-code.
