Nielet D'mello

I am a Security Engineer based in sunny California, a specialized generalist who has worked across backend systems, infrastructure, operations, and security software development.

Previously at Intel Corporation, I built next-generation developer productivity platforms, working closely with engineering teams to drive new initiatives. Before that, at McAfee LLC, I deepened my expertise in securing software and defending against threats.

I hold a Master’s degree in Computer Software Engineering from San Jose State University. Go Spartans!

the work

I have had the privilege of working with talented people on products used across the globe. Outside my core responsibilities, I am passionate about mentorship, often a mentee, sometimes a mentor, and initiatives that support STEM education.

outside work

Avid reader. Fitness fanatic. Love spending time outdoors. In 2025, I became a mom, the most transformative thing I’ve ever done.

My mantra: ‘Be the change you wish to see in the world.’
