Ep. 07: Showing Our Elders the Future

Charles Edwards is the CEO of LEO Technology Development LTD., the company under which he successfully launched the Pocket Antigua app with his partners. In addition to being a software engineer, Charles also teaches software programming and web development to local youth as part of the faculty of the GATE initiative. His mission is to usher Antigua into the digital age, where the sky is truly the limit.

Born into a family where engineering and technology were a part of every day life, Charles started pursuing his interest in programming with the intentions of becoming a video game developer. At the age of 10 years old, Charles taught himself HTML, which became the gateway to many other programming languages he mastered over the years, in addition to earning a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science from the University of the District of Columbia (UDC).

Other accomplishments under Charles' belt include capturing third place in the 2014 Google Games; the release of his first mobile video game, Color Invaders; and the creation of the Myst Carnival app released in 2016.
