About Me
Hi, I'm Caleb (he/him)! I'm a systems integrator, software engineer, inventor, and all-around tinkerer based in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. My work combines technical problem-solving, bringing ideas to life with well-structured solutions that deliver long-lasting impact. With a background in embedded software and electrical engineering, I orchestrate hardware, software, and web/cloud solutions to bring your vision to life. I thrive when tackling challenges with precision and creativity.
I've worked on a variety of projects, from developing software for combines and harvesters at CNH Industrial to designing instrumentation and control systems and climbing through primary containment at Exelon's Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station. I've setup VFDs on conveyor systems in package distribution centers and re-tuned ultrasonic sealers using 1970's Mitsubishi PLCs for a Swiffer production line migrated from Japan. My professional experience spans industries and continents, with cross-functional collaboration in the U.S., Belgium, Brazil, and India.
Additionally, I enjoy DIY electronics projects that assist my other interests, like photography. Check out my listed projects to to see a solid state relay power a soup heater to keep a water bath within ±1 Deg C or a ripped apart Kodak slide projector converted into a film slide digitizer that produces higher fidelity images than any other reasonable options available, automated to do eighty slides at a time. See my GitHub page.
Community Involvement
Beyond my professional work, I organize and participate in my local community. I currently serve as the Secretary of the Board for The Common Wheel, a nonprofit bike shop that provides youth and adult programming while promoting cycling in Lancaster. I'm also the Vice Curator of the Global Shapers Lancaster Hub, a group of young leaders addressing local needs through focused community projects. One current volunteer effort is Ride, Roll, Stroll Lancaster, a project aimed at improving active transportation in our city.
Personal Life
At home, I live with my partner, Megan, our two orange cats, and an English Setter. When I'm not working on a project, you'll find me reading some old lit or classic science fiction. I practice photography daily as a way to connect with the world and tell stories through a timeless medium.
Whether you're looking for a technical solution, creative collaboration, or a mix of both, I'd love to help bring your ideas to life. Let's build something great together!
