My Background

I’m Camren Khoury, a student at Clemson University majoring in Computer Engineering and Electrical Engineering graduating in May 2026.

I am from North Charleston, South Carolina. I always had a deep interest in how technology works at its core, especially the way binary logic, circuits, and small changes in hardware or software can completely change a system's behavior. Early projects like building my own computer and repairing electronics strengthened my interest in engineering and pushed me toward a hands-on career.

I chose to get a degree in both Computer Engineering and Electrical Engineering because I wanted a complete understanding of both hardware and software. Computer Engineering provides the middle ground between electronics and computer science, but taking additional EE-exclusive courses such as electromagnetics, electronics, and power systems allows me to understand how the systems I design work from the physical level up through embedded software. This broader perspective helps me design solutions that are more reliable and realistic.

My Family

My partner Cadle, who is studying Elementary Education at Augusta University, and our daughter Delilah inspire me to approach engineering with purpose, discipline, and long-term vision. Balancing academics, leadership roles, and fatherhood has shaped my resilience and the way I approach challenges.

I also have three sisters and a brother, all of whom currently live on the East Coast of the United States. I am the second oldest on my father's side of the family and the oldest on my mother's side. Growing up, I lived with my grandparents: my grandmother, Rosa, who played a huge role in my development as an adult, and my grandfather, Donald, who graduated in 1958 with a degree in Electrical Engineering from Michigan State University and later pursued a long, successful career with SPAWAR in North Charleston, SC.

Academic Journey

During my time at Clemson, I have grown my skills in several course areas including data structures, algorithms, electronics, and microcontroller systems. Highlights include:

  • Data Structures and Algorithms: Building and debugging linked lists, heaps, and memory systems.
  • Electronics and Circuit Design: Hands-on labs with transistors, oscilloscopes, and curve tracers.
  • Embedded Systems: PIC32-based projects including a Nuclear Meltdown Simulation. ESP32 projects like the WQSP (see projects)
  • FPGA/SOC Design: Basic FPGA/SOC Design using Verilog and AMD Vitis + Vivado
  • Integrated System Design: Combining multiple elements of different systems safely and accurately like the PoolShark (see projects)

I am proficient in C, Python, and Verilog with experience in Swift and development on PIC32, ESP32, and STM32 platforms.

Career Goals

I aim to work in a field like embedded systems, FPGA Design, or Intelligent Systems to work on hardware implementation designs focusing on seamless hardware/software integration. These fields would also work in connecting with memory management and system optimization which is something I also find interesting to optimize.

My areas of interest include:

  • Embedded Systems Development: Designing microcontroller-based solutions for healthcare, automation, and consumer devices.
  • FPGA & Digital Design: Developing hardware-accelerated systems and custom SoC-style architectures for high-performance applications.
  • System Optimization: Enhancing reliability, efficiency, and overall performance across hardware/software systems.
  • Software Engineering: Building dependable, low-level software using C and related system-level languages.
  • Intelligent Systems: Applying Computer Vision, Control Systems, and Embedded Intelligence to drive automated decision-making and system control.

Personal Interests

Outside engineering, I enjoy the gym, swimming, basketball, and spending time with my family.
