Summary
Chris Melendez is a full-stack software developer with eight years of engineering experience and four years focused on web applications, currently building products at Evotrux and co-founding Raven, a React and AWS CDK-backed support network for new immigrants in Canada. He blends backend Java and API design with frontend Angular/React expertise, and has a track record of shipping scalable features and smoothing UX in healthcare and insurance systems. Passionate about robotics and computer vision, Chris competed with Robotis-OP3 platforms and applied ROS, OpenCV, Python and C++ in international competitions, which informs his practical approach to complex automation problems. He also teaches STEM to K–12 students and mentors FIRST Robotics teams, translating deep technical skills into clear instruction. Based in North Vancouver, he pairs hands-on implementation with systems thinking—equally comfortable iterating on a Map-driven React feature as on designing serverless architectures and SQL schemas. Outside code, he’s an avid cook, a detail that surfaces in his careful, process-driven development style.
