Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolEwan Mellor is a versatile research engineer and freelance software developer with eight years of recent contract experience and a long history building cloud-native and client applications. He ships mobile apps (Swift, Objective-C, Kotlin) and full-stack services (React, Java/Kotlin, Node.js, Python) and has deep operational experience with AWS, Docker, CI/CD and databases like ElasticSearch and PostgreSQL. Ewan has led and scaled teams at enterprise level—including founding and architect roles—and contributed to significant open-source projects such as the Webiny serverless CMS where he added telemetry and improved developer tooling. He prefers remote short-term contracts out of San Francisco but remains open to local engagements, bringing a pragmatic blend of product-focused engineering and build-from-scratch craftsmanship. A Cambridge computer science graduate, he pairs systems-level thinking (OCaml, Erlang, C) with hands-on delivery across platforms and a knack for improving developer workflows behind the scenes.
