About

Hi! My name is Calvin, and I'm a recent graduate from the University of Tennessee with a Master's in Computer Engineering. As you can tell from my experience, I've been all over the place in terms of both location and field. From Cloud and DevOps in Nashville to Software Engineering in Kansas and now Design Verification in California, I've been able to find new things to enjoy about the world and technology that I never even knew of when I was just graduating high school. Whether you're viewing my profile as a peer or a potential recruiter, feel free to contact me to inquire about some of my past experiences!
