Pierre Charles

Full-stack engineer based in the coastal town of Folkestone, Kent. I design and build thoughtful, accessible web applications, from UI and UX through to APIs and infrastructure.

With over six years in the industry, I've worked across property data, comparison platforms, pet insurance, and cybersecurity, always with a focus on getting the details right.

About

Hi, I'm Pierre!

I'm a full-stack engineer who cares deeply about the details; how something looks, how it feels to use, and whether it actually works well for everyone. Most of my time is spent in TypeScript and React, but I'm just as happy wiring up APIs, setting up infrastructure on AWS, or automating the boring stuff.

Right now I'm at Hometrack, building a property data platform that helps housing associations, councils, and developers make better decisions about the UK housing market.

Outside of work I’m usually tinkering with IoT devices, home servers running Unraid and TrueNAS, automation workflows. When I do step away from a screen, it’s to climb, swim, or walk the coastal trails around Folkestone.

I got into web development building a site for my photography during school, studied Computer Science at the University of Kent, and spent a year in industry at Holiday Extras before graduating. That placement is what made everything click.
