Full Stack Dev Security First

Hey, I'm Charles, co-founder of Cadogy, full stack dev, CTO, and someone who just really loves building things that don’t break under pressure. I’ve spent time in fast-moving teams, solving tricky problems and building things that actually ship.

I'm big on clean architecture, secure infrastructure, and making tech that's useful and not just flashy. I work across the MERN stack, run secure servers, and reverse-engineer stuff for fun when I'm not prototyping new platforms or wrangling databases at 2am.

Frontend

React NextJS TypeScript HTML5 CSS3 Tailwind CSS Radix UI

Backend

Node.js PHP MongoDB Express.js MariaDB Firebase Redis

DevOps

AWS GCP Linux Git Bash WordPress XAMPP

I Believe

Tech should empower people.
I’m all about giving you the tools that make hard problems easier and ideas more possible.

Simplicity scales.
I like to build systems that are lean, fast, and easy to maintain, not Rube Goldberg machines.

Ethics > shortcuts.
Security and digital rights matter. I spend a lot of time on anti-piracy, DRM, and making sure tech protects people - not exploits them.


Current Focus

  • Scaling fullstack apps across cloud infrastructure
  • Maintaining secure APIs and dev-first SDKs
  • Building marketplaces that blur the line between gamers and platforms
  • Prototyping some cool stuff with Mongo, NextJS, and Rive
  • Breaking (and fixing) things to learn

Let's Chat

I’m always down to chat tech, startups, nerdy side projects, or why PHP still haunts me in my dreams.
