Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJavier Mendez is a Senior Software Engineer based in Madrid with eight years of experience specializing in C++ backend development, systems programming, and data pipelines. At Wazuh he led the C-to-C++ overhaul of a critical server component—improving modularity, performance, and cloud readiness—while contributing to the well-known open-source security platform by enhancing JSON parsing, timestamps, and asset tests. He blends low-level skills (sockets, libuv/uvw, rapidjson, GTest) with practical Python prototyping, validated an MVP in C++, and routinely delivers production-ready code on schedule. Previously he applied security domain knowledge in threat intelligence (MITRE ATT&CK, Sigma/YARA) and built microservices and computer-vision tools with .NET, Python, OpenCV and RabbitMQ. Javier is actively pursuing leadership roles where he can scale his technical impact and mentor teams while continuing to tackle complex, efficiency-sensitive problems.
