Hi, I'm
Pedro Mello
A Software Engineer specializing in FinTech, DeFi, and Payment Systems. I build robust and scalable financial solutions to solve real-world problems.
I am a results-oriented Software Engineer with proven experience in the financial technology sector. My passion for programming, which began with game development, has evolved into a professional drive to create secure, efficient, and innovative solutions for the complex worlds of DeFi and payment systems. I thrive on transforming abstract ideas into tangible products that deliver value.
As a Software Engineer at goAssets, my work is centered on building sophisticated financial solutions that bridge traditional and decentralized systems. I led the development of a pioneering payment gateway connecting the Web2 and Web3 ecosystems, enabling instant cryptocurrency payments and fiat settlements. This platform incorporated advanced features like web3 credit card collateral systems and automated payment splitting for multiple stakeholders.
Additionally, I developed a robust asset management system for distributing financial products within a private capital markets marketplace. This work culminated in me being selected to present our marketplace solution at the prestigious Dubai Fintech Summit. My technical expertise in Python, JavaScript, and Solidity was instrumental in architecting and delivering these secure and scalable solutions.
Currently tackling complex challenges as a Software Engineer at goAssets.
My Core Strengths
Skills and Principles That Define My Work
Problem Solving
I excel at deconstructing complex challenges into manageable, actionable steps. Whether it's debugging critical production issues or designing system architectures from the ground up, I have a methodical approach to finding efficient and lasting solutions.
Technology Agnostic
I believe the best solution dictates the technology, not the other way around. With strong proficiency in Python, JavaScript, C#, and Solidity, I adapt and select the optimal tools to meet project goals and ensure performance and scalability.
Out of the box thinking
Innovation drives my work. I enjoy exploring unconventional approaches to problem-solving and designing unique solutions.
Formal sciences
My strong foundation in algorithms, data structures, and computational theory supports my ability to create efficient and scalable software solutions.
Soft skills
Behind every project are people and relationships. The key to building solid solutions lies in connecting with others and working together. Collaboration, clear communication, and empathy are just as vital as technical expertise.
Product-Oriented
I bridge the gap between business strategy and technical execution. I achieve Problem-Solution Fit through market research and MVPs, and then scaling solutions to find Product-Market Fit. I collaborate closely with clients and stakeholders to transform business needs into successful, market-ready products.
Spacing
Just a spacing
Optimistic Mindset
I strive to embody the words of a wise king: 'All the days of the afflicted one are bad, but the one with a cheerful heart has a continual feast.' Even on the hardest days, I choose to maintain a positive attitude and smile.
