Summary
Michele Mendel is a seasoned programmer based in Jerusalem with over three decades of hands-on software experience and 11 years in focused professional roles across startups and enterprise projects. He combines startup grit—as founder of blackflatcap building a Go/Flutter mobile app and GCP-backed backend—with enterprise-grade engineering from roles at Ardoq, Confirmit, and large public-sector digitalization projects in Norway. Michele has deep practical knowledge across full-stack systems, compiler/DSL design, cloud architecture, realtime APIs (SSE), and data-backed web applications, and he introduced RFC-driven change processes to improve cross-team coordination. Comfortable from frontend D3/JS work to backend Go, Redis and MariaDB, he frequently bridges product, architecture and customer-facing requirements, including secure identity integration for government services. Notably, his background in aeronautical engineering hints at a systems-thinking approach and an appetite for complex, safety- and correctness-focused solutions. Currently splitting time between product development at Shortcut and advancing his startup, he blends consulting polish with founder-level execution.
