I'm Benson Imoh (Bee) — a software engineer and engineering leader with over a decade of experience building web platforms, automating workflows, leading distributed teams, and contributing to open-source projects. I previously worked as Associate Director of Engineering at 350.org, where I combined leadership with hands-on software engineering and systems architecture to support its mission in addressing climate issues. I currently work as DevOps and Cloud Infrastructure Consultant for 350.org and other organisations while I look for new full-time roles.
I specialize in building scalable systems, designing cloud-native infrastructure, and improving developer experience through automation and thoughtful architecture.
- Leadership: Experience growing and managing remote engineering teams across time zones.
- IC Excellence: I still write code every day — JavaScript/Node.js, PHP, Go, Bash, and whatever gets the work done.
- Cloud & DevOps: Infrastructure on GCP, AWS, Docker, Pulumi, Cloudflare, proficient in CI/CD, and setting up DevOps pipelines.
- Frontend & CMS: Advanced work with React.js (Next.js, Gatsby, Vite) and Vue, WordPress (custom themes and plugins, Gutenberg blocks), Laravel.
- OSS & Community: Actively contributing to OSS projects and supporting tech-for-good initiatives. Contributor to MDN, OSCAFRICA and open-source advocate.
I'm currently exploring:
- 🚀 Individual Contributor roles at mission-driven or tech-forward companies
- 🧭 Engineering leadership and DevOps architecture consulting roles
- 🌍 Open-source collaborations that make tech more accessible
