Top SchoolGuilherme Melo is a senior software engineer with 11 years of hands-on experience building and shipping systems across embedded Linux, cloud services, and developer tooling.

His background spans low-level debugging of complex C++ projects (Qt, VTK, glibc, Mesa) to designing scalable backend services and improving CI/CD and testing practices. Contributions to the conda-forge website and build tooling show a deep practical understanding of dependency management and reproducible builds. Based in Berlin, he brings a pragmatic, curiosity-driven approach to turning tangled third-party codebases into maintainable, extensible systems.
