If Arch Linux and Laravel had a love child, it would be Charlotte. Unfazed by any tech stack thrown her way, she's the go-to for crafting reliable and maintainable applications. Oh, and she's our in-house techno DJ too.

What happens when you blend code mastery with a knack for DIY and a taste for techno? You get Charlotte, our multifaceted developer who's just as likely to be found refactoring an API as she is constructing her next home improvement masterpiece. When she's not geeking out over the latest design pattern, you might also catch her navigating through a complex piano symphony or contributing to the team's unique culture with her dry and daring sense of humour.

Techno Music or House Music?
Hard Filthy Techno all the way

Hot Charlotte = Happy Charlotte
