Cynthia Peter

A prolific writer, fashion enthusiast, speaker and creative...

Welcome to my corner of the internet!
My story

I am Cynthia Peter, and I’ve spent over 10 years exploring how to make complex ideas simple and relatable. My career has taken me from writing technical guides to advocating for developers, but I also love the smell of a new book, walking the aisle of a good thrift store, good food, and late-night calls with friends or family.


Now that I got your attention..

I started technical writing without knowing it. During my paramilitary service in Delta State, Nigeria. I had to teach kids computer studies. I feel proud of this part of my journey because I was the teacher I needed as a pupil.

I’ve always believed that the best writing connects people, whether it is helping developers understand an API, explaining a technical concept, or simply sharing my thoughts on why friendships matter. But that’s not why we are here. If you need to know more about my professional career, please check my resume.

Right here, I just want to share photos of my favourite things and write. The goal was to grab my own space on the internet and express and expand as much as I can.

More than my career, I am privileged to be an  Ada (meaning “first daughter” in the Igbo language).  I’ve mastered the art of responsibility, communication, and balancing chaos (skills that come in handy in life and work!). I multitask a lot because I can’t do without a little bit of chaos.
I love Spicy food, random days or hours of hyperfocus, reading books, and learning a new word. 
Some of my favourite quotes. I say ‘some’ because my favourite quotes change every four market days. "Slow down and enjoy life. It's not only the scenery you miss by going too fast - you also miss the sense of where you are going and why...... Eddie Cantor

The world of reality has its limits but the world of imagination is boundless ....... Jean-Jacques Rousseau.
