Charlie, in real life.

Hey, I’m Charlie.

The internet is still amazing.

And I still get a kick out of making things for it.

I’m a multimedia engineer turned product builder. I help teams solve real problems, make useful things, and figure out what comes next. Sometimes, I also make games.

Product person by day. “I could build that” person by night.

A few things I’ve put on the internet:

  • Whirlie

    A daily puzzle with a twist. Stack blocks on a pivot. Try to keep your balance.

  • CINCO

    Five boards. Five-cell paths. One score to chase. A little daily workout for your brain.

  • Atlas

    Hiring with less bureaucracy. One clear workspace for roles, candidates, and your team.

  • NoteCal

    A little space for every day. Your notes and tasks, together in one continuous calendar.

Some things are useful. Some are just fun. All started with “what if?”

Past projects. A few lessons that stuck around.

  • Doo

    An app we built at Greenggers to connect people in Bogotá with neighborhood businesses—deliveries, reservations, and local services.

    My first real run at building a startup, from coding the Android app to taking it out into the world.

A work in progress.

I started by making websites, games, and mobile apps with friends. Then I co-founded a startup and learned a few things the hard way. Turns out, building a product and building a business are two very different adventures.

At Truora, I grew into product leadership: defining problems, working closely with users, and helping teams build across LatAm. Today, at Somos Internet, I’m working on product, growth, and innovation—and infrastructure that can actually make a difference.

The longer, slightly more professional version is on LinkedIn.

“That’s not a problem.”

A phrase I heard a lot in my first months as a PM. A pretty good place to start, actually.

Still figuring things out. Still building cool stuff.
