Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolCharles Walsh is a pragmatic engineering leader and Fractional CTO with 11 years’ experience stabilising messy codebases, accelerating delivery, and turning internal tools into revenue-generating SaaS products. He combines hands-on mobile and web engineering (React Native, TypeScript) with product-minded leadership—setting clear goals, running strong 1:1s, and building autonomous teams that balance delivery and quality. Charles has repeatedly rescued apps from technical debt, cut crash rates dramatically, and introduced CI/CD and deployment pipelines to shrink release cycles from days to minutes. He also brings operator experience from running non-tech businesses, which sharpens his focus on cost, risk and commercial outcomes. Recently he’s stayed deeply technical during a career break, shipping AI-augmented development projects using Claude Code/Codex, multi-agent orchestration, RAG pipelines and local LLM inference. Now based in Stony Stratford, he’s seeking a permanent leadership role where he can scale teams and stay close to product outcomes.
