Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolCaleb John is a research-driven software leader with 13 years of experience who currently serves as Chief Research Officer at LucidBox, guiding R&D and technical strategy to tackle complex engineering challenges. He has deep practical experience in energy systems—leading the end-to-end development of a residential VPP, a DERMS platform, and an energy-storage arbitrage engine that doubled PV savings—alongside firmware and embedded C work for renewables. Caleb blends hands-on full-stack and mobile development (notably contributions to the Joplin mobile app and UI/game logic in an open-source digital estate planning game) with a history in quantum and photonics research, giving him a rare mix of production engineering and scientific rigor. He’s comfortable moving between low-level firmware, cloud-backed analytics, and front-end UX, and has repeatedly driven performance improvements such as a 66% reduction in simulation runtime. Based in Calgary, he leverages a Master’s in Electrical and Electronics Engineering and a habit of following curiosity to find novel product and research intersections. Colleagues value him for translating cutting-edge ideas into pragmatic, client-facing solutions that scale.
