Top SchoolRobert Melrose is a founder and lead full-stack engineer based in Miami with 12+ years building production web platforms, backend systems, and AI tooling.

As founder of Devs.Miami he owned product planning, CI/CD, observability and analytics for wingit.dev, and at Scale AI and Sepal AI he helped fine-tune model workflows and mentored junior engineers. His background spans low-level C++ systems, .NET enterprise portals for airlines, and early tinkering with TI-BASIC and PC Logo, reflecting a lifelong curiosity about making computation useful. He’s especially effective at rapidly forming cross-functional teams to ship novel solutions, evidenced by a hackathon-built robotic arm trained to play music. Open to Miami opportunities, he brings entrepreneurial drive, technical breadth, and a user-centered approach to AI and product development.
