Summary
Mel Habip is a versatile technology leader and software developer based in Ottawa with four years of experience bridging customer-facing engineering and IT leadership, currently serving as Vice President Information Technology at Monarch Wealth Corporation. He progressed rapidly from solutions and success engineering roles at Mako Financial Technologies to co-founding a startup and leading IT strategy, demonstrating both hands-on development and operational leadership. Comfortable across the full stack, Mel builds user-centric applications with JavaScript/TypeScript, Node/Express and React while applying SQL and design sensibilities to solve complex product challenges.
