Summary
Samuel Mello is a senior software engineer with 16 years of experience building embedded systems, carrier-grade telecom platforms, and cloud-native microservices, currently engineering at Netflix. He has led end-to-end migrations from monolithic SQL-backed services to distributed microservices with NoSQL, Kafka, and Kubernetes, and designed user management domains serving millions of concurrent devices across LatAm. His background spans low-level embedded firmware and middleware for set-top boxes to high-availability backend architecture, giving him rare full-stack telecom-to-cloud fluency. Skilled in requirements, CI/CD, test automation, monitoring and performance profiling, he pairs hands-on coding with architecture and operational readiness. Samuel holds an MSc in Computer Networks and an MBA in Organizational Leadership, and often bridges product, network and platform teams to translate complex service specs into measurable, deployable systems. An understated strength: he routinely validates designs with proofs-of-concept and benchmarks to de-risk large migrations before wide rollout.
