CharlesWithC/README.md

Hi, I’m @CharlesWithC

Software & Infrastructure Architect + Engineer

  • I design logical stuff, automate delivery stuff and architect infrastructure stuff.
  • I write code - mostly for my complicated logical stuff, and sometimes for regular business logic.
  • I manage my own cloud storage, email server, bluesky pds, link shortener, SSO, etc because I am bored.

Education / Experience

  • BSc. Computer Science at University of Toronto
    • I would say I am more of an ECE person with an interest in CSC theory stuff.
    • Blatantly speaking CSC education is cooked with how things are structured and how much you can self-study.
  • The Drivers Hub Project (TruckSim stuff)
    • Fun solo technical experiment with an actual community (i.e. market).
    • Open Source Project: HubBackend + HubFrontend.
  • Chief Technology Officer at Mermory (no longer exists)
    • I managed to keep it a no-slop startup with full self-managed infrastructure while it lasted.
    • Disclaimer: There's nothing wrong in its tech and I tried to save it but it's beyond my pay grade.

Current Status

  • Learning Rust because I like it.
    • Possibly building a project with Rust as backend (which is total overkill but interesting)
  • Pivoting to research because I have had enough slop in current-day software engineering.
    • Research exchange in EL @ EPFL in Summer 2026.
    • Likely pivoting to ECE because I like hardware and touching metal.
    • Disclaimer: I acknowledge that good software engineering still exists but it's hard to find.
