Back to [[conference:committee:speakers-2013]]\\ \\ **Bio**: Charles is a C++ software developer at Bloomberg LP, working in commodity derivatives. His career in software has included roles in such diverse areas as web technology, business intelligence, data warehousing, defence and radar. He is a strong believer in the benefits of good design and clean implementation. He understands the importance of optimal software practices and so has a keen interest in version control systems and best practices surrounding their use. He is a Git user, advocate and occasional contributor and relishes the opportunity to reduce gnarly problems to dust with his git-fu and to teach others how to do the same.\\ \\ **Email**:charles@hashpling.org\\ \\ [[2013:Git - Everyday recipes for you and your team]]\\ [[2013:Git - Why should I care about the index?]]\\
