Olu at Arthur's Seat - Scotland

warning image I'm a natural storyteller, so I might tell you a little bit more than you'd expect.

Olu's career

I'm Olufunke, though friends and colleagues often call me Olu or Moerayo, and I live in the Netherlands. My journey began in education, where I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Integrated Science Education.

Over time, my curiosity led me into the world of technology, where I transitioned into software engineering and subsequently pursued a Postgraduate Diploma and a Master's degree in Computer Science.

Along the way, I discovered Technical Writing, a role that perfectly blends my interest in teaching and technology.

As a career, Technical Writing allows me to combine what I love, what I'm good at, and what I want to do— and well, the rest is history!

Olu's work

As a Technical writer, I work the role of a user and developer advocate.

In my work advocating for users and developers, through documentation, as well as technical and marketing essays, I have collaborated with companies like Novu, Hygraph, Appwrite, Cloudinary, Gfarbase, Flutterwave, and more.

My relationships with these organizations often extend beyond the duration of my contract as I often continue to use some of these companies' tools and solutions in my day-to-day activities. For instance, the assets on this website are managed with Cloudinary, and the database, at some point, was powered by Xata, two organizations I've worked with.

Why work with Olu?

I often say, what good is all the brilliant engineering efforts behind your project if no one knows how to use it effectively? During my time as a developer, I experienced first-hand the frustration of trying to work with tools that were fantastic but poorly documented. You didn't need to be told that documentation was an afterthought; it was obvious.

That frustration planted a seed. With my software engineering background, I now bridge that gap as a technical writer. I'm able to understand the technical depth behind a product and the importance of clear, accessible communication.

Whether you're building for developers, end-users, stakeholders, or internal teams, I help surface your tool's actual value through human-centered documentation and content strategy.

What else does Olu write about?

I've been writing for as long as I can remember. Before venturing into technical writing, I had already been writing fiction and nonfiction.

If you're curious to see more of my work, here are two places you can check out:

  • On my WordPress blog, I share personal stories that give you glimpses into my life, the moments, and experiences that have shaped me. It's a mix of joy, sorrow, and everything that makes me who I am.
  • I also write on Substack. Here, you can find both fiction and nonfiction. The concept behind this blog is still evolving, but I share stories inspired by acquaintances, friends, and life's darker moments. These stories aren't always about me but explore the essence of life itself.

I hope to continue writing so that, even years after I'm gone, there will be memories of the life I lived for those who never had the chance to know me.
