Technical Lead @ Thrive

Charlie Underhill

I'm charlie. A full stack developer based in Staffordshire.

Originally, I'm from a small town in the Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire. I moved to Stoke-on-Trent to study at Staffordshire University. I graduated a few years ago, achieving a first for my degree, BSc Web Development. Since then I've stuck around in the area, and currently work for Thrive Creative in Cheshire.

Outside of being a developer, I have a few different pastimes. My Partner and I like to go out hiking whenever we can find the time, this ties in nicely with my passion for photography. It means we're always looking for new places to visit in nature.

Here's some pictures I've taken over the years.

I can also safely that I am obsessed with F1. I'll be distraught if I miss a race weekend. The combination of sport and bleeding edge technology and engineering is just fascinating. It's unlike any other sport.
