Top SchoolSlava Melanko is a full stack engineer with 11 years of experience building cross-platform desktop apps and high-load backend systems, primarily in C++, alongside web work in Node.js, React, Python, and TypeScript. He progressed from junior developer to team leader over six years at an outsourcing firm, then spent five years architecting marketplace and distributed proxy systems before moving into independent contracting and his current Full Stack Engineer role at Stack Up.

He’s also active as a humanitarian volunteer and investor, bringing strong client communication and mentorship skills that earned him leadership responsibilities.
