About Me
Who I Am
I'm Charlie Swinhoe. I build things and solve problems.
I started in 2023 trying to automate my trading strategies. Learned Python, built forex and crypto bots, and realized I liked building systems more than trading them. That led me down a path from sales to web development to AI, and now I run multiple businesses while shipping new products every week.
The Journey
AI & Entrepreneurship
Launched Dizzy Otter in February, an AI consultancy that started making revenue immediately. Built GoSYNQ with Fin Walker in April—zero-fee ticketing for event promoters. Since October, I've shipped a new product every single week.
Web Development
Made the switch from sales to building. Created my first real web projects and discovered I could build faster with AI than traditional coding. Started learning everything I could about full-stack development.
Sales & Python
Moved from bartending and trading into sales. Taught myself Python to automate my trading strategies. Realized I was more interested in building the tools than using them.
Digital Nomad
Been traveling on and off since 2018. 40 countries. Lived and worked in Australia and New Zealand. Built tech from dozens of countries. Currently based wherever I am that week.
What I Believe
I want to make tech more accessible and solve real problems. Most people waste time on things that should be automated. My goal is to build systems that make people's lives easier so they can focus on what they're actually good at.
Ship fast. Ship weekly. Keep building.
What I'm Most Proud Of
The AI Operator Roadmap
A complete collection of everything I know about AI, packaged into a free 15-module course. It's my way of making AI accessible to anyone who wants to learn.
Beyond Work
I train. I learn. I travel. I've started documenting the journey.
