Top SchoolCharles Hardy is a software developer with 10 years of experience building web applications, microservices, and cloud-native infrastructure from startup stacks to enterprise systems. Based in Greater Montreal, he blends backend Go and Kubernetes expertise from SAP with full-stack and BI-focused contributions at Evidence, where he improved build integrity by introducing a strict build mode that enforces error checking across CLI and core packages. His background spans .NET desktop and data-mining work at Volvo Buses, PHP/Laravel product development as a co-founder, and front-end foundations from early internships—demonstrating an ability to move between systems, tooling, and UX. Pragmatic about maintainability (“your code is a liability; your system is an asset”), he focuses on making systems robust and auditable while shipping practical, production-ready solutions.

Contributions summary:Charles focused on enhancing the build process and error handling within the Evidence project. Their commits introduce a `strict` build mode to enforce stricter error checking and failure conditions, particularly during compilation. They modified the build process in the CLI and core packages, and added a `strictBuild` flag for database connections and query preprocessing. This included throwing errors on circular references and database connection failures to ensure build integrity.
