About Me - Charles Laughton 

I am a Team Leader at Amdocs in St Louis, USA.

Amdocs is a  highly successful software house, and is the world leader in developing Mobile TeleCommunications Billing Systems. They have offices around the world, in locations such as St Louis, the UK, and Israel. I work on Testing and Testing Methodology, supporting Test Director. I also program in several languages including Unix, Cobol, C, and Oracle/SQL.

I went to Oxford Brookes University, and studied BSc Computer Science and Micro-Electronics.

On Leaving Oxford Brookes, I joined Vodafone, where I worked  for 6 years as a developer - using mainly ICL-3900 mainframe computers. I left and worked for a couple of other companies, and then joined Amdocs. I moved to St Louis in November 1999.
