Summary
Calvin Kranig is a software engineer and PhD student at UW–Madison specializing in networking and applied machine learning, with nine years of experience building production-ready simulation and ML systems. He currently develops mission-critical C++ modules for TensorRT-optimized DNN inference and designs virtual environments and RL models for drone swarm behavior at General Dynamics Mission Systems. Parallel to his engineering work, he leads an eight-person cyber security incident response team in the Minnesota National Guard and holds a TS/SCI clearance, blending operational security expertise with hands-on development. His background includes model-based systems engineering work at the NRO and full-stack infrastructure support in higher education, demonstrating an ability to move between research, prototyping, and field-ready implementations. Calvin aims to grow as both an engineer and leader, and uniquely combines deep ML/inference engineering with practical security and simulation experience.
