MELVER

I helped build MELVER from its earliest days: I am a partner, and we built from scratch the education platform for the financial market (certifications, career courses and financial education in schools), which has passed 500 thousand students and 2 million enrollments. I am still there as a Staff Engineer, focused on what I enjoy most: code, accessibility and product quality.
