About Me
Hi, I’m Charles, a software developer with over 10 years of industry experience designing, developing, and optimizing high-performance backend applications and tools. Skilled in Go, C#, and C++, with a strong focus on scalable solutions, cloud platforms, and modernizing legacy systems. Proven commitment to improving workflows and delivering high-quality, maintainable code.
The main languages I’ve been working with include:
- Go
- C++
- C#
Experience
- Spearheaded the rearchitecture of a healthcare technology platform using Go, aligning it with modern software engineering principles and enabling seamless migration from legacy code.
- Identified and addressed process bottlenecks, resulting in improved product quality and development efficiency.
- Built a Node.js Kafka wrapper module, facilitating efficient communication between core backend services and third-party integrations using Protocol Buffers.
- Specified and enforced TypeScript coding standards, ensuring code quality and consistency across the team.
- Led the development of several third-party integrations in Go, utilizing webhooks and REST APIs.
- Implemented a flexible payment platform integration in Go, with client access provided via HTTP endpoints.
- Reworked and supported legacy WinForms tech in a modern WPF context, including support for a robust hotkey system, a floating-window framework, and on-the-fly WinForms-to-WPF conversion, ensuring access to modern UI features while maintaining interoperability with existing tech.
- Delivered timely bug fixes and provided ongoing support in an unfamiliar codebase.
- Engineered a new low-level GDI-based rendering solution from the ground up to replace WPF rendering, exponentially enhancing performance and enabling artists to iterate on extremely complex and data-heavy scenes imported from third-party tools, accomplished while reducing long-term support costs and boosting extensibility.
- Designed and developed cutting-edge cinematic tools and workflows using C# and C++, including accompanying documentation and unit tests.
- Provided consistent and effective support for game teams’ engineers and content creators under tight deadlines.
- Heavily optimized performance based on CPU and memory usage analysis, improving client workflows.
- Created a platform-independent data format and C# library for storing, accessing, and manipulating oil reservoir visualization data.
- Built file conversion tools for data conversion from multiple file formats to the new data format, including an ASCII-based parser written in C++, enabling support for multiple vendors.
- Created efficient data structures for interactive 3D visualization systems of oil reservoir simulation post-processing datasets and models.
