Hi there! I'm Charlie. I'm a trained software engineer who loves to build alongside my customers, with lots of experience working alongside internal teams to build out tooling and systems. I've worked alongside Support, Customer Success, Finance, and IT teams to build incredibly successful data solutions and tools. Now I'm looking for my next role to get to keep building with great people every day.

I value tight-knit teams where knowledge and best practices are freely shared. I'm open to working in whatever tech stack you use day-to-day; I prefer to focus on the end product and ongoing success. I love owning big and complex projects where every stakeholders have a chance to benefit. If you're working in a team that specializes in improving internal systems, doing deployment engineering or a forward deployed model with your customers, or you're looking for an AI Specialist who can help your company adapt to an agent-driven model of work, I'd love to talk.

If you're using minecarts to move yourself around in Minecraft, it's certainly a terrible investment. However, when used as a tool, they are incredibly useful and an excellent investment. Minecarts can do two things that no other setup can: transport items between inventories consistently without the player's involvement, and move entities like villagers around the map. This makes minecarts a really useful tool in the later stages of the game, when you might want to use them to distribute items across an array of furnaces to be smelted or to move villagers to a central location to make trading easier.

TNT is sometimes worth the time it takes to make. Every block in Minecraft has a blast resistance, so if you're using TNT underground, you're running into stone blocks that will shrink your blast radius. On the other hand, TNT can be used on the surface of the desert to get sand quickly and profitably. It can also be used at the lower levels of the nether to blow up a bunch of blocks in the search for netherite scrap.

Once upon a time, the iPod wasn't useful to every person, because not everyone wanted to take music with them wherever they went. Nowadays, if you don't have a phone in your pocket that can play music, you're in the minority of the world population.

I think that at some point there will be an iPhone moment for VR. However, I think we're still far enough away from it to not know what it'll look like.

Funnily enough, the word "basic" is missing from the word list. The English language needs more than these 850 words just to describe this project.
