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.
