About Spruce.

For nearly a decade, I’ve been tinkering with code and technology the way some people tinker with old radios—taking things apart, putting them back together, and discovering something new each time.

Created on October 21, 2025

I started playing with code back in 2016 out of curiosity. I'd break a few things, make a few things, and then write about the whole process. You can read some of my articles over on freeCodeCamp.

I am based in Nigeria and I like to work remotely. I also play chess; my Lichess username is SpruceEmma.

...but I suppose that’s not why you're here.

You'll want to know the specifics. I've worn a few hats over the years, including "writer" and "developer," but it all boils down to building useful things. I've had the pleasure of working with some great companies and teams.

Here’s a snapshot of my recent journey:

  • Freelance | Web Developer & Technical Writer (2023 - Present)

    These days, I'm back to freelancing—working on web projects and writing technical content for clients. It's a mix of building things, documenting them, and helping teams ship better products. This has involved breaking down complex dev tools into readable content for companies like Hit-Subscribe.

  • Professional Data Skills | Technical Writer (Jan - Dec 2024)

    I got to work with content teams from some big tech names like CrowdStrike, Toptal, and SitePoint. My role was to translate dense technical information into developer-focused documentation and tutorials that actually make sense.

  • ContentLab | Web Developer & Technical Writer (Apr 2022 - Jan 2024)

    Here, I split my time between code and content. When I wasn’t writing, I was building accessible web applications with the dev team for companies like Zoho, Kinsta, TomTom, Cohere, and even Meta, with a heavy focus on WCAG compliance.

  • The Early Days | Web Developer (2018 - 2021)

    This period was a mix of my first freelance gigs and a role as a Frontend Developer at Compass Software. I handled everything from talking to clients to design implementation and deployment. It’s where I really learned how to ship things on my own.

Through my work, I've had the opportunity to contribute to and be published on top developer blogs, including content for CrowdStrike, Toptal, SitePoint, Kinsta, Zoho, and Meta.

My focus is always on producing and implementing high-quality, functional software that aligns with user needs and business goals. I'm always open to discussing new projects or opportunities. Feel free to reach out via email or connect with me on LinkedIn.
