Charles is a Professional Licensed Engineer specializing in low voltage communications circuits and embedded system design.  He holds a Masters in Electrical and Computer Engineering from UC Santa Barbara, and a Bachelors in Psychology from Union University.  For the past few years he has helped hundreds of engineers with their designs while working as an Applications Engineer at Cadence Design Systems, but before that, he designed and built large systems.

While completing his Masters at UCSB, he functioned as the Campus Audio/Video engineer.  Many classrooms and auditorium were renovated under his charge, where he was responsible for project and budget management and purchasing, as well as design and installation.  He also completed the design of the Humanities and Social Sciences Building classroom and classroom support systems.

Following his graduation from UCSB, Charles worked for both MFS Network Technologies and Lockheed Martin IMS designing and installing toll road systems for the 91 Express Lanes and Transportation Corridor projects.  Designs here involved complete communications systems including video surveillance, fiber optic networking, and all control channels, violation enforcement (license plate cameras and capture systems) and vehicle detection and separation systems.
