Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolCharlotte Brandhorst-satzkorn is a product-focused software engineer with seven years of experience building reliable backend and frontend systems, currently reimagining enterprise identity at a stealth startup. She has shipped end-to-end features and tooling at scale at Tailscale—contributing to networking and VPN functionality—and led early engineering work at Edera to improve developer and user experience, observability, and deployment demos used for business leads. Proficient in Go, TypeScript, React and SQL, she is comfortable across control-plane backend, client code, CI/protobuf generation, and infrastructure/DevOps. Charlotte has a track record of turning prototypes into GA features (e.g., Custom OIDC at Tailscale) and improving internal processes like observability with OpenTelemetry and Honeycomb. She brings a scientist’s rigor from earlier academic research and a knack for shipping developer-friendly docs and tools that reduce onboarding friction. Based in Squamish, BC, she combines networking and security expertise with a strong user-centric product sensibility.
