Hi, I’m Charles, a software engineer who builds practical, user-friendly systems that solve real problems. I have a Bachelor's degree in Software Systems Engineering. I’ve designed and launched production software used by multiple organizations, including full-stack platforms that replaced manual processes and significantly reduced day-to-day workload. My background spans both software engineering and IT operations, which helps me see the bigger picture—from how systems are built to how people actually use them. I’ve worked closely with teams and stakeholders to deliver reliable solutions, automate workflows, and improve efficiency at scale. What sets me apart is my ability to communicate clearly, take ownership of projects, and turn complex requirements into clean, dependable results. I’m easy to work with, proactive, and focused on delivering value—not just code.
