/ about me

hi, clinton here.

Agyemang Clinton Baffour

Linux systems and infrastructure engineer

4+ years of experience designing, scaling, and operating highly reliable distributed systems that support real-time transactions, large user bases, and multi-market workloads.

Track record of delivering 99.99% uptime, preventing more than $50M in revenue leakage, reducing fraud by up to 70%, and improving latency by 3000x through observability, resilient architecture, and transaction integrity systems at scale.

Proficient in Kubernetes, Terraform, AWS, Python, distributed systems, observability, CI/CD, performance engineering, SLO and SLI design, incident response, and infrastructure automation.

I have a strong passion for first-principles thinking and low-level systems work.
