Senior🎓
Top SchoolBaffour Boampong is a Senior Software Engineer based in Accra with nine years of experience building scalable web and mobile applications, APIs, and integrations. He has led product development and engineering teams across startups and enterprises, notably shipping a CMS that processes about $30,000 in daily orders and co-founding a payments platform that handled over $200,000 in transactions within 14 months. Comfortable across the full stack, he’s delivered serverless scraping infrastructure, reusable libraries, and robust REST APIs using TypeScript, Node.js and Vue.js while mentoring and hiring engineering talent locally. An active open-source contributor, he improved Homebrew’s tooling by integrating Repology and adding safeguards like duplicate PR checks—an uncommon cross-over between platform engineering and package management. He pairs entrepreneurial instincts with disciplined engineering practices, focusing on code quality, automated testing, and pragmatic integrations that accelerate product delivery.
