Top SchoolCharles Ouellet is a product-focused engineering leader with 13 years of experience building web and e-commerce products, currently serving as Head of Product for Snipcart after co-founding it in 2013 and leading its technology until its acquisition by Duda. Based in Quebec, he blends hands-on front-end craftsmanship—evident in UI and e-commerce integrations across Snipcart themes—with product ownership that consistently delivered successful client projects at Spektrum Media.

Pragmatic and detail-oriented, he has shipped UX improvements like drag-and-drop product interactions, improved image handling, and robust cart behaviors that materially improve merchant and developer experiences. Equally comfortable in code and strategy, Charles leverages a decade-plus of practical engineering to translate merchant needs into polished, developer-friendly e-commerce features.
