Hi! I’m Mayel. A developer and social entrepreneur who enjoys understanding and hacking systems, and occasionally designing and building new ones. I’ve been the technical lead at several startups in the past, including: Podemus, a podcasting platform (back in 2005); LeLab.TV, a video platform (which I also produced video content for, including a collaboration with The Yes Men); Babelverse, an award-winning startup that took on the challenge of the ‘universal translator’, powered by a global community of interpreters; GetAcross, a non-profit project helping refugees access volunteer interpreters; and recently, MoodleNet, a free software decentralised platform for educators to network and share resources. With about 20 years as a full-stack web app developer, I can help you in a wide range of capacities. Whether it be defining a project’s strategy, designing the features and architecture, prototyping, building and launching the app or platform, or setting up the infrastructure. On top of the core technical skills, I’ve been in charge of everything from product design to project management, pitching to fundraising, hiring to project management, community building to customer service, branding to PR to social media, and even marketing and sales when that couldn’t be avoided…
