I'm Charlie.
I’m a founder, software engineer, and digital artist. I’ve lived and worked across 10 global cities, leading teams, shipping products, and building communities. I care deeply about diversity, biodiversity, and creating technologies that help people live healthier, more connected, and more creative lives.
Mission Driven
I started my career working in environmental and educational non-profits. I'm motivated by building technologies that reduce our reliance on fossil fuels and that improve human well-being through mobility, education, or health. My work is shaped by cross-cultural experience, deep curiosity, and a commitment to designing products that help current and future generations thrive.
Entrepreneurial
I love finding and creating opportunities, solving real problems and turning ideas into products. After cutting my teeth at Silicon Valley startups, I co-founded Ridepanda, a B2B climate-tech company, and scaled it to tens of thousands of users. I look for opportunities where technical complexity meets large-scale human impact.
Technical Leadership
I've led engineering as an IC and manager across hardware, firmware, backend, data analysis, and have deployed IoT fleets internationally and built products used by Amazon, Google and OpenAI. I love owning complex, interdependent systems and shipping products that move businesses forward. I also understand the power of good design and UX alongside strong technical systems.
