Melo
React Native·Expo·Supabase Realtime·AI·2026
A chat app for people who speak different languages: translates messages before delivery. The original message is still available, and the chat includes typing indicators and presence.
Hey, I'm Samuel Isah.
Software Developer
Open to work
I build mobile and web products: offline-first apps, real-time systems, and developer tools and enjoy the problems that come with making them reliable.
About
I’m a developer based in Nigeria. I work across web, mobile, and backend projects, mostly with React, Next.js, React Native, TypeScript, and Node.js.
I’ve learned to think beyond writing code and consider how systems behave as a whole, from architecture and data consistency to scalability, fault tolerance, and handling failures gracefully. I’m interested in understanding not just how things work, but why they’re designed a certain way and how to make them more reliable as they grow.
Recent projects include Melo, a chat app that translates between languages as you message; Chop Iron, an offline-first workout tracker; and DropEnv, an encrypted tool for sharing environment variables.
I’m looking for a software engineering role where I can contribute to a team, learn from other engineers, and keep improving.
