About Me

Hey there! I'm Charles, a vibe coding developer who believes in building tools that genuinely help people. I recently graduated from NYU and currently work in Product Growth at an AI startup, where I get to combine my love for technology with understanding what users actually need.

My coding philosophy is simple: if it doesn't vibe, it doesn't ship. I focus on creating intuitive, user-friendly experiences that solve real problems without unnecessary complexity.

When I'm not coding or analyzing growth metrics, you'll find me exploring new AI technologies, contributing to open-source projects, and thinking about how technology can make everyday tasks easier for everyone.

Why I Built Slide Buddy

I realized that while translation tools existed, none of them respected the design integrity of presentations.

Slide Buddy was born from the idea that you shouldn't have to choose between speed and quality. It's built to be the tool I wish I had.

The Story Behind the Product

I thought: "There has to be a better way."

So I built Slide Buddy — a free, AI-powered tool that translates entire presentations in seconds. No subscriptions, no hidden fees, just a simple solution to a common problem.

"If I can save someone even 30 minutes of tedious work, that's a win in my book."

— My motivation for every project
