Quincy Obeng
Senior Software Engineer
I've spent the last decade building products across fintech, healthcare, e-commerce, and media—turning complex problems into solutions that actually work for the people using them.
Principles I build by
Every principle here was earned the hard way—through shipped products, failed experiments, and late nights debugging production. These aren't just theories. They're lessons learned.
Build-First Mentality
Ideas are cheap. Shipping is expensive. Every lesson here came from launching something real.
Learn moreSystems Over Solutions
One-off fixes create technical debt. Reusable systems create compounding value.
Learn moreConstraints as Catalysts
Limited budget? Small team? Tight deadline? Those are features, not bugs.
Learn moreUser Obsession
Every pixel, every interaction, every word—optimized for the humans using it.
Learn moreInteractive demos & experiments
Personal projects built to explore ideas and demonstrate my engineering approach. My professional work is proprietary, but these samples showcase how I think and build.
Theme Explorer
Experiment with color palettes and see how they transform the entire site in real-time.
EXPLOREPalette Studio
Generate harmonious color schemes with accessibility scoring and export options.
EXPLOREHero Composer
Build compelling hero sections with typography, layouts, and visual hierarchy.
EXPLOREProduct Simulator
Walk through decision trees that mirror real product development scenarios.
EXPLOREFlow Mapper
Visualize user journeys and process flows with an intuitive drag-and-drop interface.
EXPLOREBrand Moodboard
Curate visual inspiration boards for brand identity and design direction.
EXPLOREMy process for solving problems
A repeatable approach for taking messy problems and turning them into elegant, scalable solutions. Four phases. Countless iterations.
OBSERVE
Deep immersion in the problem space. User interviews, data analysis, competitive research, and constraint mapping.
ARCHITECT
Design systems that scale. Technical decisions that compound. Foundations that last beyond the first version.
AUTOMATE
Eliminate repetitive work ruthlessly. Build tools that make the team faster. Invest in leverage.
ELEVATE
Ship, measure, iterate. Turn learnings into playbooks. Share knowledge that makes others better.
A decade of building what matters
Ten years ago, I shipped my first production code and immediately broke something. That failure taught me more than any tutorial ever could.
Since then, I've built products across fintech, healthcare, e-commerce, and media. Each domain brought new constraints. Each constraint revealed new possibilities.
This portfolio is where I share what I've learned—not as abstract principles, but as working tools and projects you can explore. Because the best way to learn is to build.
Every success here started as a spectacular failure somewhere else. That's the real engineering journey.
WHAT I'M ABOUT
- Building products that solve real problems
- Creating systems that scale with the team
- Writing documentation humans actually read
- Mentoring engineers to level up faster
- Turning failures into reusable playbooks
- Making complex things feel simple
Words from colleagues & collaborators
The best validation isn't metrics—it's the engineers who grow and the products that ship successfully.
Quincy doesn't just ship features—he ships understanding. Every project came with documentation that made our whole team smarter.
The systems thinking is what sets him apart. Six months later, the architecture he proposed is still serving us well at 10x the scale.
He asked questions we hadn't thought to ask. That curiosity saved us three months of building the wrong thing.
Best technical communicator I've worked with. Complex concepts made simple. Stakeholders actually understood the trade-offs.
Quincy turned our chaotic codebase into something the team actually enjoys working in. Morale went through the roof.
The playbooks he created are still being used two years later. That's the kind of lasting impact you want from a consultant.
Let's build something together
Whether you're looking for a collaborator or just want to connect, I'd love to hear from you.
