Michael Darko-Duodu

I build and scale web applications end-to-end, with a deep focus on designing systems that are reliable, scalable, and fast to ship. I bring strong experience across React, Node.js, and PHP, and I care about performance, system design, and developer experience.

As VP of Engineering at Seev Cash, a cross-border payments fintech platform, I work directly with the CEO and engineering team to shape product direction and technical strategy. I lead core feature development—payment gateway integrations, storefronts, and invoicing systems—while designing frontend and backend integration patterns that keep services scalable and reusable.

I’m also a creator and lead maintainer of open-source tooling used by 500K+ developers worldwide. I’ve designed and built full-stack applications, developed APIs, and integrated third-party systems through my Leaf frameworks and modules—supporting seamless data flow across products.

Previously, I’ve driven major engineering initiatives like TypeScript migration, mono repo adoption, and workflow optimization at ADPList to improve performance and developer productivity. From fintech to mission-critical web apps, I’ve led documentation, system migrations, and technical communication—delivering measurable impact, including a 300% performance boost on a USSD platform.
