Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolCharlie Wilson is a Senior Back-end Software Engineer with 12 years' experience building cloud-native infrastructure for earth observation and satellite systems. Currently at Q-CTRL after leading engineering at Spiral Blue, he has designed edge-computer software for LEO payloads and architected ground systems that let customers deploy ML/AI on satellites. He brings deep practical experience in Python/Django, PostgreSQL, Docker and Azure/GCP, and a track record of introducing quality standards, CI, testing and maintainable interfaces across high- and low-level satellite protocols. Earlier roles combined data engineering, product-focused tooling and IT operations, enabling remote work and massively speeding manual data validation while preserving ISO-grade processes. Based in Sydney, he blends systems-level engineering with hands-on implementation—often bridging hardware constraints and cloud services to turn research-grade capabilities into operational products. He’s unusually comfortable shipping software that literally goes to space and the ground control stacks that keep it running.
