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.

The RevLink Sidecar in a printed case on a car dashboard, cabled to a COBB AccessPort

RevLink Sidecar

Free and open source

My first go at hardware, and it started as a favour. My girlfriend's WRX is on a COBB AccessPort: she datalogs, sends logs to her tuner, he sends a map back, she flashes it — and every step except the driving needed a laptop. Now it takes her phone. I built all three layers: the hardware and printed case, ESP32-P4 firmware doing verified incremental syncs over USB host, and the web portal it serves for reading datalogs and moving maps.

Currently cooking 🍳

What's on the stove

One pot going, full of blocky avatars. I'm not sorry about it.

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.

Details when it survives playtesting
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.
