Kode Charlie

I am a senior software engineer who builds extensible, well-tested systems and enjoys architecting solutions from line #1. I prefer close-knit, supportive teams that embrace challenge and creative problem solving, and I prioritize long-term quality over short-term calendar milestones.

My background spans webapps, webservices, and desktop apps across multiple technology stacks, with significant experience in cloud-native systems, real-time integrations, and backend services. I have implemented production systems using Golang, Kubernetes, Kafka, AWS services, Spring (Java), PostgreSQL, and frontend frameworks such as Vue.js.

I bring strong academic foundations—MSEE research in probabilistic analysis and an early neural nets undergraduate thesis—and a history of leadership, including shepherding complex Go-Live releases and coordinating cross-team integrations. I value empathy, mentorship, and giving less-experienced contributors a chance to thrive.
