My name is Charlie and I like to make things.
Currently building directed-energy microwave beams to shoot down drones.
Previously:
- Interned at GitHub (here lol)
- Worked as a SWE bringing intelligence to frontline workers
- Interned at Hack Club, teaching teens how to program FPGAs and control robotic fingers using nerve signals
- Organized a hackathon in (near) space
- Spent 3 years making an open source glider dropped from weather balloons
I also enjoy:
- Learning about random, disparate topics
- Running, cycling, and other endurance sports
- All sorts of design
