Mel Mirasol

I am an IT professional with 15 years of experience in systems development, integration, and maintenance, specializing in both front-end and back-end technologies. I design and implement scalable, high-performance systems that integrate seamlessly with existing infrastructures. I also have a proven track record in supporting and modernizing legacy systems to ensure their continued role in business continuity. My focus is on optimizing workflows, resolving complex technical issues, and ensuring long-term system reliability through proactive support and maintenance.

Throughout my career, I’ve worked with a wide variety of programming languages and frameworks, building applications for large user bases and developing secure, reliable APIs for external integrations. My experience spans both creating new applications and enhancing existing ones to meet evolving business needs. I am skilled in documenting and implementing new features, as well as identifying opportunities for improvement in legacy systems. I also lead efforts to modernize these systems, applying updates that improve supportability, security, and overall performance. Using CI/CD best practices, I oversee the full project lifecycle, managing backlogs, repositories, build pipelines, automated testing, and release cycles to streamline development and ensure top-tier quality.

In recent years, my focus has increasingly shifted towards cloud-based solutions, particularly within the Azure ecosystem. I have worked extensively with Azure tools such as DataBricks, Data Factory, Functions, Blob Storage, and SQL to build automated data-collection services and optimize data transformation processes. This has significantly enhanced business decision-making by providing real-time and historical insights for forecasting, analytics, and reporting. My work in this space has deepened my technical skills and strengthened my commitment to data-driven solutions that provide meaningful, actionable business intelligence.

Collaboration is a cornerstone of my approach. I work closely with cross-functional teams, including business stakeholders, IT departments (architecture, infrastructure, security, and change management), and leadership to ensure that both technical objectives and business goals are aligned. By fostering strong relationships and maintaining clear communication, I ensure that projects are delivered on time, within budget, and in line with strategic priorities. This collaborative approach has consistently resulted in successful outcomes that meet or exceed stakeholder expectations.

Passionate about problem-solving, innovation, and staying ahead of industry trends, I thrive in fast-paced, dynamic environments where I can apply my skills to tackle new challenges. Whether developing new systems, integrating third-party solutions, or maintaining legacy platforms, I bring a strategic, hands-on approach to every project. My goal is always to enhance system functionality, improve performance, and deliver better user experiences that contribute to long-term business success.
