About Charlotte
I'm Charly, a freelance product engineer (charlottehetzler.com)
I help startups and small businesses build the things they need to launch and grow — marketing sites, MVPs, and full-stack platforms — and I bring product and business thinking to the work, not just the code.
For most websites my default is Webflow: fast to build, easy for clients to manage, and properly polished. When a project needs more, I build with React, TypeScript and a Node backend, and I set up the automations (Zapier, n8n) that take repetitive manual work off your plate. I was a founding engineer at a B2B marketplace and have spent the last several years shipping for startups across Europe.
I also have an MBA in Innovation & Entrepreneurship, which mostly means I want to understand what a project is actually for before I start building — and that tends to make the result better.

I build marketing sites, MVPs, and full-stack platforms — most often in Webflow, and in React/TypeScript with a Node backend when a project needs more. I also set up the automations that remove repetitive manual work. I bring product and business judgment to each build, not just execution, so the end result actually serves what the project is for.
