Summary
Charles Bastian is a NetSuite development lead and integration architect with 14 years of hands-on experience solving high‑severity platform challenges and delivering scalable SuiteScript and IPaaS solutions from Austin, Texas. He blends deep technical ownership—defining architecture, leading escalations, and optimizing platform performance—with practical consulting instincts honed running his own firm and advising enterprise customers. Charles routinely architects complex NetSuite integrations (Jitterbit, REST/SOAP, SQL, payroll and HR systems) and converts legacy SuiteScript into modern 2.x implementations while mentoring teams and enforcing maintainability standards. Known as a "fixer," he moves quickly from ambiguity to stable, long‑term solutions and reduces delivery risk through proactive architectural governance. Outside work he’s curious and hands‑on—ex‑hacker turned legitimate consultant and co‑organizer of local lockpicking meetups—illustrating a penchant for unconventional problem solving.
