A little bit about myself

Charlie Piper, MSc Computer Science & AI
Hi, I'm Charlie - a software developer, AI enthusiast, and current MSc Computer Science & AI student living in London. Right now, I'm interning at Amadeus, where I get to work on tech that helps people travel the world (and occasionally daydream about my next trip).
For me, discovering programming felt like uncovering a secret language that could shape reality. It's wild to think that, at its core, all this magic comes from simple electronics—tiny gates flipping on and off, working together to quietly reshape the world in ways our ancestors could never have imagined.
It's easy to forget about how a few lines of code can set off a chain of electrons, turning raw logic into vibrant images, intricate financial systems, or just a tool that helps people find their way home. And yet, this cascade of ones and zeroes is choreographed by human creativity.
We're building things today that generations ago couldn't even dream of; algorithms that diagnose diseases before symptoms appear, satellites that monitor crop outcomes far into the future, and simulations that let us witness the birth of galaxies. We can access the world's knowledge from a device in our pocket, and connect with anyone, anywhere, in an instant.
At Amadeus, I'm learning what it means to build software at scale, and I love being part of a team that's as excited about technology as I am.
When I'm not writing code, you'll probably find me exploring London's neighbourhoods, reading about the latest AI breakthroughs, or planning my next hackathon.
My Focus
What keeps me hooked on technology is seeing how it can move the needle for society in ways that feel both huge and personal. Im drawn to projects that have a real impact - like helping people connect across continents, accelarating scientific research, or making everyday tasks a little bit easier.
I love the idea that something I build today could end up being a small part of a much bigger story, nudging things forward and making life better for someone, somewhere
