Growing up, Charna Parkey was always the “tech person” in her house. In high school she started getting IT certifications, and by the time she got to college, she took as many engineering classes as she could.
On a referral from a professor, Parkey, who grew up in Florida, landed her first job when she was 19, at a small startup in the defense industry. The professor had introduced Parkey to signal processing, which she quickly realized was the intersection of everything she wanted to do.
