About Me
I love helping people and I love technology.
I am Polish and have lived in Scotland most of my life.
In my spare time I enjoy performing in musical theatre and creating YouTube videos with my friends.
I am neurodivergent (AuDHD).
My educational background is in Cognitive Science at the University of Edinburgh.
What is Cognitive Science?
It’s the study of how we think, learn, remember, and communicate – uncovering the secrets of how our brain operates, much like an incredible computer.
By blending ideas from psychology, computer science, linguistics, and philosophy, cognitive science helps us understand the fascinating ways we interact with the world and each other.
Let’s Work Together
I have a varied skillset and extensive diverse experience which can help you or your business in many ways.

Operations & IT
Streamline your systems, automate the repetitive, and design workflows that save you time and energy.
Resources & Training
Learn, reflect, and grow through articles and one-to-one mentoring focused on clarity, confidence, and autonomy.
Everything I do centres around clarity, autonomy, and practical design – so your systems, brand, and operations work together instead of against you.

What Do Clients Say About Working With Me?
“Charlie helped our little team transition to a more integrated tech system, most of which can be accessed via Google Workspace. The process was quick and just about seamless.
This process has saved RPC money, and with a little bit of informal consultancy, also saves us time. Because of his personality, it is easy to approach Charlie for honest feedback about what we are trying to do and the outcomes we hope to see.
It’s a relief to know we can turn to Charlie for advice. It’s much more efficient than trying to pretend we know what we’re doing!
I always enjoy working with Charlie directly, and I’m glad that our retainer enables us to include him in our weekly team meeting, to advise on possible tech solutions to problems that arise.”
“Our ‘ancient’ iMac had been running painfully slowly for ages and every day it was frustrating to use. Charlie was incredibly patient and methodical. He took the time to work through what was going on, did a factory reset to properly clear things out, and then set everything back up so the computer was running normally again. He was always willing to clarify questions and explain what he was doing in plain English. His patience, good natured manner, knowledge and perseverance really stood out for us.
The impact was huge! We can use our computer properly again without constant fire-fighting. Instead of feeling like hard work, it’s back to being a tool that helps rather than hinders and we feel relieved, less stressed and more positive about using it day to day.
We are feeling very confident with our equipment because all the little obstacles and the background frustration with the machine have gone. Charlie removed the sticking points and explored the underlying issues, whilst also reviewing our entire setup (storage, backups, iCloud syncing, email etc.). Everything now works seamlessly together across different devices and feels smoother and more reliable.
Whilst carefully managing our expectations, Charlie was prepared to do whatever it took to sort out our problems. He didn’t shortcut the process and although it may have taken longer than expected, it was absolutely worthwhile for the result, which was far better than we’d expected.”
“Working with Charlie has been an excellent experience. He was always quick to respond to my questions, queries, and any problems that came up, often resolving things within just a few hours.
That level of responsiveness made a huge difference. It built a real sense of trust — I felt respected and listened to, which meant I was comfortable asking for help whenever I needed it.
That mutual trust is incredibly valuable, and it’s what really stood out to me about working together.”
“Charlie was amazing in organising my workflow from A to Z. The system he created on Notion has not only streamlined my processes but has also made me feel good creating the content – it doesn’t feel like work anymore!
Charlie was quick to answer my questions and timely resolved any issue. There is nothing too difficult for him.
We are now working together on multiple projects and I look forward to what lies ahead!”
“I now have had a renewed interest in improving my online presence.
I have been particularly pleased with formatting the layout of my website as there is a lot of content to include so this is quite overwhelming for me.
The responsiveness from Charlie was helpful to keep momentum on the project.”
“Having previously worked alongside Charlie, I was confident in his ability to deliver great results.
He exceeded expectations, creating a personal brand that aligned well with my requests whilst applying his knowledge and experience.
Throughout the process, he was responsive, adaptable, and proactive in offering support as I gained independence with the website software.
His knowledge and genuine enthusiasm for a strong end result was clear at every stage.
I highly recommend Charlie to clients requiring support with personal branding.
His clear passion and drive are matched by his expertise and commitment, delivering excellent personalised results which make him a strong asset for a variety of clients”
frequently asked questions
You May Be Wondering…
Working with me is structured, thoughtful, and collaborative.
I move quickly when executing tasks, but I adapt my pace when working with others.
I care a lot about clarity — understanding the real problem before jumping to solutions — and I communicate openly throughout.
You’ll know what I’m doing, why it matters, and what (if anything) I need from you next.
I work best with open, two-way communication.
I often prefer to talk things through verbally first, especially when problems are complex, and then follow up in writing so we have a shared record.
I welcome feedback and encourage you to give it early — it helps us get to better outcomes faster.
If something changes or feels unclear, I’d always rather talk about it than guess.
There’s always a clear structure, but it’s intentionally flexible.
We usually start by agreeing on goals, scope, and priorities, then work in focused phases.
If ideas evolve or priorities shift, that’s fine — we’ll pause, reassess, and adjust deliberately rather than letting things drift.
I’m comfortable exploring possibilities, but I’ll always respect your preference to stay focused if that’s what you need.
I thrive when working with people who value clarity, honesty, and mutual respect.
I plan my time carefully and appreciate advance notice if plans change.
Invoices are typically due on receipt, and I ask that any payment delays or approval issues are communicated early.
I also regularly test new tools and systems as part of my work — this benefits clients, but occasionally means my own setup is evolving in the background.
I work best with people and teams who value clarity, open communication, and mutual respect.
You don’t need to have everything figured out — but you do need to be willing to talk things through, make decisions intentionally, and communicate if something changes.
I’m probably not the right fit if you’re looking for someone to take over indefinitely with no involvement from you, or if you prefer things to stay vague rather than explicit.
My goal is a working relationship that feels calm, honest, and sustainable for both of us.
