Brice Dimitri Mehelo — Senior Full Stack Engineer

Brice Dimitri
Mehelo

Senior Full Stack Engineer and SaaS Founder building scalable systems that solve real operational problems for businesses across Africa and beyond. 10+ years shipping production software. Based in Lagos, Nigeria.

Engineer. Founder. Builder.

I am a Senior Full Stack Engineer with over 9 years of production experience designing and building scalable software systems. I have led IT operations at an ISO 9001 certified laboratory, shipped cloud-deployed applications for an Irish NGO serving users across Europe, and founded two technology companies in Africa.

My work sits at the intersection of software engineering, system architecture, and digital transformation. I build software that solves real business problems — not demos, not prototypes, but production systems with real users and real revenue.

Currently deepening my expertise in AI engineering and MLOps through the AWS AI and ML Scholarship Programme (Udacity) and a Kubernetes certification (Andela). Actively building toward roles as Solution Architect and Fractional CTO.
