Top SchoolCharles Ouellet is a product-focused engineering leader with 13 years of experience building web and e-commerce products, currently serving as Head of Product for Snipcart after co-founding it in 2013 and leading its technology until its acquisition by Duda.

Equally comfortable in code and strategy, Charles leverages a decade-plus of practical engineering to translate merchant needs into polished, developer-friendly e-commerce features.
