I'm Samaila Bala

I'm is a self taught Software Engineer and Technical Writer based in Nigeria. I love creating content that helps breakdown complex problems for developers into more simpler concepts and have been featured on blogs like LogRocket, Asayer, and Medium.

I've been building websites and mobile applications since 2017 with a focus on good user experience and functionality. I am continuously learning and trying to master tools and technologies such as; HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and more to use in building better solutions to problems I come across in projects I work on.

When I'm not working on projects or writing articles you can find me driving around the city of Los Santos and also spending time discovering new artists to listen to on Spotify.
