Now — Updated May 2026

What I am doing right now.

A living page. Updated whenever something
worth noting changes.

Research

Preparing the pre-registration for the cross-cultural personality and compatibility study. Working through the governance structure of the Research Data Trust and the methodology for the conflict-of-interest disclosure. The research page at charleyhub.com/research is the public home for this work.

Kronogon

Building the institutional foundations of Kronogon Inc. — the movement infrastructure alongside the products. This means thinking carefully about the mentorship and education programmes, the foundation (working name: Krogen), and what it takes to build something with genuine institutional ambition rather than startup energy.

Reading

Currently going deep in personality psychology — the literature on Big Five cross-cultural validity, cultural moderation of personality-outcome relationships, and the computational personality work coming out of Cambridge and Columbia. Also re-reading widely in African literature and systems thinking.

Reading list to be updated here as it evolves.

Music

Continuing to practise and perform. Working on a programme that will be documented here when it is ready. The organ and the work of building things are not as separate as they look from the outside — both require the same discipline: showing up to something difficult, day after day, until it becomes what it was supposed to be.
