About Me

Hi, I’m Calen. I’m a full-stack engineer who loves taking an idea and turning it into something people can actually use. I enjoy the whole process, from sketching out the first version, to building the API, to polishing the UI so it feels smooth and intuitive.

I work most often with React, Next.js, TypeScript, Node, and MongoDB, but I’m always picking up new tools if they help me build better products. What excites me most is creating clean, maintainable code and collaborating with others to bring projects to life.
