About Calder Benjamin

As a teenager at school, I loved tinkering around on my laptop, and became known as the fix-it person in my friend group for tech problems.Today, much has stayed the same. I’m still the first point of call for technical issues. The difference is that I now also develop innovative software to solve the problems of Fortune 500 companies. One of my most recent projects involved designing and rolling out a new piece of software to integrate data from legacy systems into an updated and more accessible workflow.I’m currently employed as a senior software developer at Sparq. I’m hands-on in all stages of the software development cycle, from planning and design to testing and deployment. My primary tasks involve debugging issues, refactoring code, fixing bugs, brainstorming ideas, or integrating new systems.Something that I love about software development is the opportunity to work with people from a wide range of disciplines. The software development lifecycle involves working with many different people and departments.
