Turning tech into tales developers love!

Passionate about simplifying complex concepts to empower developers, engineers, and product teams. Dedicated to building API-first, developer-centric products that drive innovation and adoption.

About Me

I’m Nabil Mohammed, also known as the "Dev Docs Wizard". With over 6 years of experience as a Senior Technical Writer, I specialize in creating developer-focused content and API documentation that bridges the gap between complex technical concepts and clear, actionable insights.

I’ve had the privilege of working across diverse industries, including Google Developer Groups, a start-up, a governmental research body, podcaster, digital conflict interventionist, and freelance writer. Currently, I create inclusive, developer-centric content at Salla, empowering over 5,000 E-commerce developers with innovative tools and documentation that led to a 75% improvement in developer integrations.

My expertise spans managing documentation for 7+ products, producing 300+ API documents, SDK guides, 90+ integration tutorials, and more. I’m proficient with tools like APIDog, GitBook, Swagger, Stoplight, and Markdown / MDX. My efforts have driven a 58% increase in self-service adoption and reduced support inquiries by 63% within the developer community.

When I’m not immersed in technical documentation, you’ll find me geeking out over my 50+ video game collection 🎮, re-watching Friends🍿 and The Big Bang Theory🎥, or exploring creative ways to simplify complex ideas.
