Summary
Michael Meli is a Full Stack Software Engineer with 11 years of experience building high-throughput, scalable systems and user-facing apps across C#, TypeScript, and React. Currently at Kustomer, he focuses on foundational AI enablement, bringing a proven track record from Rithum where he designed cloud architectures on AWS handling millions of daily API calls and hundreds of millions of product updates and events. His background blends rigorous research—publishing NDSS work on secret leakage after building a high-throughput GitHub-scanning pipeline—with hands-on engineering that reduced critical workflows from days to minutes and eliminated production incidents during large migrations. Comfortable mentoring teams and owning CI/CD and common component libraries, he pairs academic depth (MS CS, BS ECE) with practical optimizations that cut cost and latency at scale. Based in Raleigh, NC, he’s equally at home negotiating design with partners like Amazon as he is diving into low-level security or event-processing frameworks.
