Software Engineering Consulting

From Prototype
to Production

You've proven what's possible — a new signal, a novel detector, a breakthrough your team brought out of the lab. Now you need to build something real.

I work across the full stack — firmware, desktop applications, cloud platforms — so you get one engineer instead of a fragmented team. From bench prototype to shippable instrument.

What I Do

One Engineer. Full Stack.

Everything your instrument needs — without the overhead of a team.

Firmware & Embedded Software

From bare-metal sensor drivers to real-time acquisition. I work directly with your EEs and systems engineers to understand the hardware and build software that talks to it reliably.

Desktop Applications & User Interfaces

The software your users actually touch. Intuitive interfaces for acquisition, analysis, and visualization — designed around real workflows, not engineering convenience.

Cloud & Data Platforms

When your instrument needs to connect — data pipelines, remote monitoring, analysis platforms. Scalable infrastructure that grows with your product.

Signal & Image Processing

Turning raw sensor data into meaningful results. From spectral analysis to medical imaging, I help you extract the insights your science depends on.

Industries

Deep Domain Experience

20+ years building software where precision matters.

Medical Devices

Diagnostics, imaging, therapeutic devices, wearables. I understand the regulatory landscape and build with compliance in mind from day one.

Scientific Instruments

Analytical equipment, lab automation, precision sensors, measurement systems. Software that matches the rigor of your science.

Life Sciences

Biotech platforms, research equipment, diagnostics solutions. From early R&D tools to commercial products.

The Veeda Difference

Why Teams Choose Veeda

🎯

Breadth Without the Overhead

Large firms bring 3-4 specialists — firmware, web, UI — who need to coordinate, hand off, and ramp up. I bring experience across all of it. Fewer seams, faster decisions, lower cost.

🤝

Embedded in Your Team

I work directly with your engineers, scientists, and product owners. Same Slack, same standups, same commitment to your success — without the agency barrier.

Prototype to Production Mindset

I've taken instruments from first working demo to FDA clearance and commercial launch. I understand the path, the pace, and the pressure of aggressive timelines.

Your Partner

Hendrick Melo

20+ years building software for complex instruments — from scientific devices to medical platforms to biotech systems. I've led software efforts from first prototype through regulatory clearance and commercial launch.

I've helped companies like Thermo Fisher, Volcano (now Philips), and multiple startups ship products that work. I was employee #1 at CytoTronics. From first line of code to award-winning product, I built and led the team behind the Pixel system's software and cloud platform — winner of both the SLAS 2024 New Product Award and the R&D 100 Award.
