TESTIMONIALS
Charlie is a fantastic software engineer who worked on a highly technical project for us, and totally delivered. Thanks to his work, we were able to reduce the processing time for one of our interview types by 40%. He was 100% focused on making sure he was delivering the most value to the business and kept in regular contact to make sure we were always aligned. I’d trust Charlie to solve the toughest of problems; he is one of the best engineers I know. We will be able to use the work that he has done to make a lasting impact on the business. I would definitely hire Charlie again!
– Shahriar Tajbakhsh, CTO, Metaview
Charlie has been an integral part of our work at Humanising Autonomy building new products for our clients. With his input and guidance, we have been able to save a huge amount of development time on the last two products that we’ve built. He has been an invaluable team member and is always quick to respond whenever we have questions or encounter issues. For example, with his help we were able to optimise our data processing time to mere seconds per file. Charlie has put a lot of hard work into reviewing code, carrying out security reviews and testing. Thanks to his continual suggestions, we have been able to make incredible improvements to our cloud product over a short period of time. I would strongly recommend Charlie for anyone who is building a cloud product.
– Leslie Nooteboom, Chief Product Officer, Humanising Autonomy
Charlie has provided invaluable work migrating an old, Python-based application, to a modern React-based frontend. We hired Charlie at a time when we were particularly bandwidth constrained and didn't have enough resources internally to manage the migration. Charlie was a great fit as he was easy to work with and highly autonomous. He had no issues navigating the legacy codebase, needed almost no guidance and was great in terms of keeping us updated about the project progress and time estimates.
Thanks to Charlie's work we now have a more versatile tool which saves us hours of work per on-boarded user. If you are looking for someone with excellent technical and project management skills, I would strongly recommend Charlie.
