I'm Charlie.

I’m a founder, software engineer, and ditigal 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 millions in recurring revenue. I look for opportunities where technical complexity meets large-scale human impact.

Technical Leadership

I've led engineering across hardware, firmware, backend, and data systems, deployed IoT fleets internationally, built products used by Amazon, Google and OpenAI, and managed high-performance teams across engineering, product, data, and design. My strength is owning complex, interdependent systems and shipping products that move businesses forward.
