Hello, I am Ricardo Calvo.

I am a PhD student in Electrical and Computer Engineering at Purdue University.

Academic background

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Systems and Computer Engineering from the National University of Colombia.

During the final semester of my undergraduate studies, I was an exchange student at Purdue University, where I contributed to research in the Duality Lab.

Two years later, I returned to Purdue University to pursue my PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering.

Professional background

I have nearly five years of industry experience as a software developer, technical lead, and QA engineer.

• As a software developer at Fit Ideas, I delivered projects for clients across industries, including banking and data automation.
• As a technical lead at Fit Ideas, I guided teams through design decisions, development execution, and project delivery.
• As a QA engineer at Kravata, I automated testing pipelines and implemented best practices across unit, integration, end-to-end, and performance testing using CI/CD tooling.
