Cartoon portrait of Noelmo Melo

Hey, I'm Noelmo 👋

I build software, wrangle Apple devices, and keep the wrong people out of your accounts.

Engineer by trade, tinkerer by nature. By day I secure identity and AI; by night I ship apps that scratch my own itch. Somewhere in there, an unreasonable amount of coffee gets consumed.

Out in the wild 🚀

Stuff I've actually shipped

Real apps, in real stores, with real "please be kind" review anxiety.

Rebound

On the Chrome Web Store

A Chrome extension for Okta admins: find bounced emails in the System Log and spring them from the suppression list in bulk — all locally in your browser, nothing phones home.

What's on the stove

Just one pot right now. It involves blocky avatars. I'm not sorry.

A Roblox game

In the lab

After years of resistance, I've accepted the ancient wisdom: can't beat 'em, join 'em. So now I'm building a Roblox game. Yes, seriously. The kids are the QA team and they are brutal.

The professional part 👔

The résumé — but make it chill

A career spent at some of the best in the business, mostly answering: "have you tried turning it off and on again?"

Now

Okta

In the business of identity — making sure the right humans (and only the right humans) get through the door. If you've ever logged in with a single click, that's my world.

Before that

Mosyle · Apple MDM

Wrangled fleets of Apple devices at scale — zero-touch deployment and mobile device management that kept thousands of Macs and iPhones behaving themselves. Automation over toil.

Where it started

Apple

Cut my teeth at the mothership, where the bar is "insanely great" and you learn that "it just works" is really a mountain of obsessive work behind the curtain.

Let's build something.

Or just say hi. Or send coffee. All three are encouraged.
