About Charlélie

Hi!

I'm Charlélie, a passionate tech lead with 8+ years of experience helping companies bring their ideas to life. Whether you're a growing startup or an established scale-up, I love turning ambitious visions into real, impactful products.

Why work with me?

I'm versatile — Need someone to launch a project from scratch? I've got you covered. Already have a team in place? I seamlessly integrate and contribute as a developer or technical lead. I adapt to your needs, whether that's owning an entire project end-to-end or joining your existing squad to ship features and solve challenges together.

From 0 to launch (and beyond) — When starting fresh, I don't just write code; I think through architecture, define technical specs, develop solutions, and see them through to production. When joining established teams, I bring that same strategic mindset while being a reliable, collaborative team player.

I've seen it all — From early-stage startups to unicorns (like Jellysmack with its $1B valuation), I understand the unique challenges at every stage of growth. I know when to move fast and when to build for scale.

I'm entrepreneurial at heart — As a co-founder of Creative Group and other ventures, I bring more than technical skills. I think about user needs, business impact, and product strategy.

What makes our collaboration great
✨ Adaptable approach: Whether you need someone to start from scratch or join your existing team, I deliver
💬 Clear communication: I've worked with international teams and know how to bridge tech and business
⚡ Quality meets speed: My lead tech experience means reliable solutions delivered on time
🎯 Genuine passion: I genuinely love what I do — building products, solving problems, and taking on exciting challenges
