Top SchoolCharles Beam is a founder and software engineer with 11 years of experience building practical systems that bridge enterprise needs and student-driven innovation. As CEO of AcornBids he’s focused on making government contracts discoverable and actionable, while also teaching AI & LLM development as an adjunct at LSU to shepherd capstone projects from sponsor requirements to deliverable handoff. His hands-on work spans automation and integration—converting Plant 3D piping to Aspen HYSYS, accelerating applications 12x through caching and partitioning, and creating custom logging to inform product decisions. He’s comfortable across backend, data, and tooling, and has led projects with tight budgets and audit-driven requirements. An uncommon strength is translating academic projects into production-ready outcomes by coordinating industry sponsors, student teams, and handoff processes. Based in Baton Rouge, he blends entrepreneurial drive with practical engineering discipline focused on measurable impact.
