Technical Writer - AI/LLM, SaaS, Explainer Video, Tech Content, API

🚀 TL;DR: I help SaaS companies cut churn with documentation that makes onboarding effortless — and pull in qualified leads with technical content and explainer videos that rank, get cited by AI, and convert. 7 years of experience. Engineering background, measurable outcomes, zero fluff. Hi, I'm Yusuf — a technical writer and DevRel engineer with 7 years of combined software engineering and technical writing experience. I focus on the two things that actually move the needle for SaaS: -> Retention: docs and onboarding that get users to value faster, so they stick around, and your support queue shrinks. -> Acquisition: blogs, tutorials, videos, and comparison content that rank on Google, get mentioned by ChatGPT and Gemini, and bring qualified buyers to your door. Most writers hand off words and disappear. I care about what happens after publish — adoption, retention, and pipeline. 📈 Proven Results • Helicone (YC-backed AI startup): 50+ SaaS blogs, 15+ tutorials, and dev portals → 20% month-over-month growth in traffic, conversions, and rankings, plus top mentions across AI tools. • Homie (AI PM tool): Built the full docs site from scratch (Next.js) + 50+ Technical SaaS content pieces → an 85% user-growth spike in a single month and a 30% monthly lift in adoption. • Flare Network: Documentation for a 28k+ developer community → contributed to a 30%+ increase in product adoption. • OKX: Led a team producing 150+ technical articles, scaling content quality and SEO across global platforms. …and more. 🛠 How I Reduce Churn & Drive Leads • Onboarding & API docs that cut support tickets: clear, accurate, tested-against-the-product docs that get users self-serving instead of churning. • Content that converts: SEO- and intent-driven technical blogs, tutorials, and comparison pieces that grow traffic and bring the right users in. • AI/GEO optimization: I get startups cited as the go-to answer inside ChatGPT and Gemini — validated with real Atlas data, not guesswork. • Explainer & demo videos, end to end: I shoot, edit, and produce my own product walkthroughs and tutorials — including b-roll and screen recordings — so you get polished video without hiring a separate production team. • Developer-first credibility: a genuine engineering background (Python, TypeScript, React, Node.js, Solidity) means I write docs devs actually trust. • Full-stack delivery: from the writing to building the portal itself (Next.js, GitBook, MkDocs, Swagger/OpenAPI). • Built-in measurement: I set up baselines, dashboards, and event tracking before writing, so impact is provable from day one. 💡 What to Expect Outcomes you can measure — adoption, SEO, and AI-citation growth, lower support burden — with post-launch reporting that ties every piece to business impact. I'm confident enough in that to offer performance-based compensation alongside fixed or hourly, so your investment tracks directly to results. You've built a great product. Not everyone knows it yet — let me help you show them. 🙂
