Charles Lefurgy is a Senior Software Developer at IBM. He possess expertise in computer architecture, algorithms, perl, embedded systems, distributed systems and 30 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "I've worked with Charles for nine years at IBM, five of which in the same research group; namely, the "Power Aware Group". Since I met Charles, back in 2004, when he interviewed me for the job, I've looked with admiration at him for being a scholar with high caliber, an inventor with deep critical thinking, and a gentleman. Charles has the ability to formulate his ideas in top notch world class research journals, yet this doesn't take away from the clarity of his presentation to a person not experienced with his topic, or the elevator speech to another completely unfamiliar with it. Over the years Charles has demonstrated these skills in the forms of widely used development tools, academic papers, and invention patents. Charles is a great asset to any company that wins him on board." and "It has been my privilege to work with Charles over the last few years on various power management related projects. I have found him to be very good at coming up with unique and elegant ways to solve problems and he always has a positive, can-do attitude whenever faced with a challenge. He's also a quick learner, coming up to speed on new projects and finding ways to improve things in a very short time."
