Ben Boggess is a staff software engineer with 10+ years building backend-focused full-stack systems and shaping large-scale architectures across startups and enterprises. He combines hands-on development with technical leadership—mentoring teams, raising code quality, and creating pragmatic abstractions that scale. His experience spans retail, healthcare, and AI-adjacent companies (including Target, SmartThings, and Jump), giving him a knack for translating domain complexity into reliable services. A tenacious problem solver and lifelong learner, he deliberately seeks teams that push his growth while paying that forward to junior engineers. Based in Lakeville, MN, he’s equally comfortable diving into new stacks or optimizing existing platforms for durability and clarity.
