My Story

Hi, I'm Melvin 👋 I help businesses grow by leveraging technology  — without increasing headcount.

I grew up surrounded by entrepreneurship & computers — a combination that quietly shaped how I see the world and, eventually, how I help businesses grow today.

Since the start of my career, I’ve engineered software solutions and automations for over 100+ online entrepreneurs — helping turn scrappy ideas into revenue-generating platforms. My work has been recognized by startup competitions, where I’ve won funding based on traction, not just pitch decks. 

After winning a pitch competition, an investor told me, “If you knew how to code yourself, I’d wire you the money right now.” That moment rewired my beliefs about how I much more value I could bring to the marketplace. I taught myself to code in under a year, expediting the traditional 4-year CS track to start building real products. 

That led to over 3 years as a professional software engineer at Shopify, where I helped build the world’s most advanced e-commerce platform which has processed over 1 trillion dollars in gross merchant value. I learned how to ship fast, scale cleanly, and solve problems at a global level.

I think like a business partner and build like an engineer. Whether it’s system design, automation strategy, or trading equities (where I once earned 300%+ ROI in a single week), I bring deep focus, analytical precision, and fast feedback loops to everything I touch.

If you’re looking for someone who can not only write code but help you get traction, optimize systems, and unlock new leverage through technology — send me an email below or reach out via your favourite social media platform and let’s talk about what’s possible.
