Summary
Charles Koehl is a technical co-founder and software architect with over two decades of full‑stack engineering experience, known for rapidly building mission‑critical web platforms in high-pressure environments. He single‑handedly developed PERSEUS, a COVID‑19 testing system used by Disney productions, the 2020 U.S. Olympic Trials, AEG venues and multiple state departments of health, automating patient workflows and lab integrations. A prolific solo developer and product architect, he has founded and led startups from Hawaiian Beach Rentals (acquired after he built a $30M business’s tech stack alone) to Instant Roofer, where he integrates AI and real‑time data for roofing workflows. Comfortable switching roles between CTO, systems analyst and product owner, he’s a fast, just‑in‑time learner who pairs deep engineering craft with practical business instincts. His background in media production and rare multi‑aptitude profile contribute to an unusually broad perspective on user experience, performance and creative problem solving. Based in Honolulu, he enjoys translating complex requirements into streamlined, scalable systems that shave time and cost for operators.
