Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolCharles Whitfield is a Senior Software Engineer in San Francisco with 11 years of experience building web products and bridging desktop and mobile experiences. He’s a pragmatic Ruby and JavaScript-focused developer who moved up through customer support into engineering at Demandbase, combining deep product empathy with hands-on troubleshooting—he enjoys poring over server logs and error messages to find root causes. An enthusiastic teammate and patient communicator, he pairs agile engineering practices with a background in teaching and international relations, which helps him explain complex technical issues clearly to nontechnical stakeholders. His curiosity drives him to explore unfamiliar domains (including Korean language fluency), making him equally comfortable iterating on user-facing features and plumbing backend reliability.
