Meet the founder
Josue Mendives
Founder & Software Engineer · josuemendives.com
I started Mend Labs to help startups and small teams ship polished software without the overhead of a large agency. Every project gets direct attention from the person who built the studio — no handoffs, no layers.
Background
Building software
Mend Labs handles everything from initial design to deployment — web apps, mobile apps, backend systems, and the infrastructure that ties them together. Current projects include a B2B marketplace for the marine industry and a student productivity app built with Flutter.
U.S. Coast Guard
I serve in the USCG Selected Reserves as an Information Systems Technician, maintaining and securing networks, communications infrastructure, and information systems. The military background shapes how I approach engineering — disciplined execution, clear communication, and reliability under pressure.
Computer Science & Cybersecurity
Currently pursuing a B.S. in Computer Science and Cybersecurity at Hofstra University (Class of 2027). The academic foundation keeps me sharp on fundamentals while the studio work keeps me sharp on shipping.
