Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolCalvin Barker is a Software Engineering Manager with six years of experience building cloud-native data and backend systems across startups and large enterprises. He combines hands-on engineering—authoring large-scale load-testing tools and serverless ETL pipelines—with people leadership, having led engineering teams at Rokt and now Rho after impactful roles at Google and Foundry.ai. Calvin has repeatedly cut cycle time and costs (e.g., shrinking model dev from a week to minutes and reducing data-processing costs dramatically) and scaled best-practice initiatives across thousands of teams. Comfortable in fast-changing environments, he blends CS and economics training from UNC with an MS from Georgia Tech to make pragmatic, metric-driven decisions. A self-described “Rokt'star” and dog dad, he brings both technical rigor and an approachable leadership style that emphasizes clear communication and measurable outcomes.
