Hi, I'm Sandra Chime
I’m the Founder and Lead Creative at a boutique Software Architecture and Technical Writing company. I help engineering teams build scalable backend systems—and explain them clearly. As a software engineer and technical writer, I specialise in backend architecture and developer experience. I design and implement modern, scalable systems, while translating complex technical workflows into clear, actionable documentation. My work bridges the gap between engineering and end-users—ensuring robust codebases are matched by equally strong documentation, enabling smoother adoption, better collaboration, and long-term maintainability.
What I Do
- Technical Writing: Create clear, structured, and accurate documentation for APIs, backend systems, and user-facing guides.
- Software Architecture: Design scalable backend architectures, provide refactoring strategies, and deliver onboarding materials that accelerate team productivity.
- Software Engineering: Build robust, backend-heavy platforms using Python, JavaScript, and PHP, with a focus on performance, scalability, and maintainability.
- Developer Content: Craft in-depth tutorials, technical blogs, white papers, and developer-focused content to educate and engage engineering communities.
- Dev Tools & Platforms : Proficient with Markdown, LaTeX, Confluence, AWS, GitHub Actions, Swagger, Postman, Wordpress and agile workflows to ensure seamless development and deployment.

Why I Do This
I am passionate about making technology more accessible. My mission is to bridge the gap between complex engineering systems and the people who use them — developers, stakeholders, and end users alike. I believe great software deserves great documentation, and I love being the person who brings that to life.
Let's Work Together
If you need developer docs, API references, tutorials, or internal platform docs—I bring clarity, structure, and deep technical fluency.
I am always open to opportunities for collaboration, whether it’s contributing to technical documentation, developing scalable backend tools, or mentoring others in tech.

What Clients Say
“Working with Sandra was a smooth and valuable experience for Reset Compass. She designed and implemented a CRM tailored to our workflow, created clear onboarding documentation, and supported the development of our website. Sandra took the time to understand our organisation, our users, and our internal processes, which showed in the quality of her work. The onboarding documentation made it much easier for our team to understand and use the systems she built, and the CRM has helped us organise our work more effectively. Communication throughout the project was clear and professional, and deliverables were well thought out and practical. I would recommend Sandra to organisations looking for someone who can combine technical delivery with clear documentation and thoughtful onboarding. ”
