Hi, I'm Calvin 👋
A college student at Rice University who loves building anything and everything!

About

I've always had a love for creating and improving, whether it be physical electronics or software development, designing, testing, and failing was all apart of the joy of it. After taking on a brief Sidequest into the field of Classics and winning a National Championship, I commited myself to the challenge of software development, which has been so much fun!

Experience

JPMorgan Chase

Feb 2025 - Aug 2025
Software Engineering Intern
As a Software Engineering Intern at JPMorgan Chase, I engineered a robust, scalable full-stack legal application for hybrid cloud deployment. Utilizing a tech stack that included Java, Spring, and SQL for the backend and Angular with TypeScript for the front-end, the application integrated over 20 microservices via RESTful APIs. This system was designed to securely manage over 43 million rows of data, and its implementation resulted in a 30x increase in the efficiency of legal investigations. Collaborating with industry mentors and traders within an Agile framework, I helped deliver more than 15 key features while ensuring the entire application complied with stringent security and legal practices.

Fermilab

Oct 2024 - May 2025
Webpage Designer and Developer
At Fermilab, I worked on the DUNE (Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment) Project in association with CERN. I transformed the project's outdated static website into a dynamic, user-friendly platform built with Next.js, React, and a Python backend via FastAPI. This overhaul included implementing an advanced search system to efficiently manage and display millions of data files, ensuring seamless integration with an updated SQL-backed file server. I also tackled the challenges of adapting modern architecture to legacy infrastructure, managing large datasets, and improving accessibility for a global research audience.

Headstarter

July 2024 - September 2024
Software Engineering Fellow
During my fellowship at HeadStarter AI, I built five full-stack projects, each powered by integrated AI components. Notable applications included PantryPal, a pantry management tool with voice and image-based item addition using Google's Gemini AI, and an AI-powered flashcard generator tailored to personalized study needs. I collaborated with industry professionals from Amazon, Bloomberg, and CapitalOne to refine my skills in design patterns, user testing, and CI/CD practices, delivering impactful AI-driven solutions.

Owl Certamen

July 2023 - January 2024
Lead Organizer
As Lead Organizer for Owl Certamen, I planned and executed a statewide convention for high school and middle school students centered on Latin language and culture. I designed and built the event's HTML and CSS website, providing participants with a seamless online experience. Additionally, I created hundreds of academic test questions and Latin Quizbowl (Certamen) prompts, ensuring a challenging and enriching competition for attendees. This role showcased my leadership, organizational, and technical skills in a unique academic setting.

Hackathons!

Starting in Highschool, I've attended 4 hackathons so far. These events have taught me a lot about problem-solving, collaboration, and teamwork, as well as how to best go from Idea to design to testing, then to failure, then back to design, which would eventually lead to the best version of our product!
