about me
My name is Chuck Skoda. I’m married to the gorgeous Caitlin Jean, the finest person I know, and well out of my league. We have three wonderful children, and a Shiba Inu named Poppy. I’ve been recently working as a software engineer creating web and mobile software, most notably building Tagboard as a founding engineer for nearly 10 years. Previously, I’ve developed video games, primarily at 5TH Cell, where we created the Scribblenauts and Drawn to Life franchises among others. I’m originally from the Chicago area, but moved to Seattle in August 2002 to study at DigiPen.
Technology is one of my principal interests. I’ve been using Apple computers since my Dad picked up a Macintosh Plus circa 1987/88, and I generally consider my iPhone to be the best computer I own. If you are interested in any type of geeky pursuit, I’m sure we’d have something to talk about.
Sorta.app is a side project of mine, where you may have taken a quiz ranking your favorite films from the MCU or James Bond movie franchises. Recently, I’m moonlighting as an indie game developer where I’m working on getting a few projects off the ground for personal fulfillment.
My preferred online presence is on Mastodon if you want to say hi. Increasingly, I’m less comfortable with owned social media, but I’m also @skoda on Instagram and Threads, as well as @chuckskoda on Bluesky. You could also try and send me an email, but you can’t quite count on a snappy response there. Thanks for stopping by, I hope you’ve had a pleasant stay.
Be excellent to each other,
Chuck
