hi, i'm
charlie

product at roblox (identity, self-expression, ai). ex-founder, early stage startups. couple of exits. mostly product, some design. largely consumer mobile.

most interested in tech that unlocks creativity, connects people, and enables the best versions of ourselves. occasional angel investor, advisor.

tinkerer, bringing weird little ideas to life. making mobile/web apps, pulling on threads I find interesting: ai cartoon gen, nostalgia tech, running soundtrack visualizer. made a book of hip-hop cartoons.

sample-based music production as wait what. 10s of millions of plays, 100 shows: stadium in new york, warehouse in toronto, clubs in bangkok and vegas. lots of adventures, late nights, and plane flights.

frequent reader, music listener and podcast enjoyer. writer on human behavior, social observation, how we shape the internet, and it shapes us. fan of hip hop, precise comedy, and finding the perfect turn of phrase. collector of records, sneakers, and jerseys.

care about personal growth/health/taste and power of having true agency over your time. convinced that the stories we tell ourselves and others shape much more than we imagine. doing my best and believe that others are, too.
