Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolDavid Mendez is a senior software engineer and independent contractor with 13 years of experience designing, building, and operating cloud-native, data-intensive platforms for leading scientific organisations such as CERN and EMBL-EBI. He specialises in end-to-end systems on Google Cloud Platform, scalable web applications, interactive data visualisations, and CI/CD-driven deployments, often owning frontend architecture, reusable components, and Kubernetes optimisations. At EMBL-EBI he led a full redevelopment of the ChEMBL web interface and built tooling to surface complex bioactivity data, while at CERN he automated release workflows and created the CMSSW Integration Build Portal to improve developer visibility. Comfortable spanning software engineering and applied data/ML pipelines, he pairs hands-on platform work with close collaboration with researchers to turn technical requirements into user-friendly systems. Based in Cambridge and open to fully remote roles, he also contributes DevOps automation that tightens CI/CD feedback loops—demonstrated by scripting improvements to widely used testing bots.
