Hi 👋, I'm Charles Odili

A seasoned backend-heavy Snr Fullsatck Software Sngineer, Engineering Manager, and Snr Technical Program Manager from Nigeria. I currently work in Canada for a top-notch Fintech startup delivering an API-backed AI service to millions of customers across Canada, US, & UK through top partner banks. I am a technology, product and people builder (kindly see my LinkedIn recommendations for some hints).

  • 📫 How to reach me chaluwa[at]gmail.com

  • ⚡ Fun facts:

    1. I am fondly called "the father of African developers", having designed and led large training programs (in partnership with Google and Facebook) that reached +100K African software engineers, grew them from junior to intermediate, intermediate to senior, and got ~10k of them certified in web, mobile, and cloud technologies over a period of 5 years
    2. Much earlier in my tech career, friends called me a 'dedicated server'. Once I am faced with a problem, it must get crushed without distraction
    3. I was once a bad ass bass player, (I still play sometimes).

  • ⚡ Watch out: I mentor engineers and programs across Africa, through programs like TalentQL.

  • ⚡ I am a published author. Back in 2012, I published a Java title and might be working on something for backend, cloud and distributted systems in the near future
