Hi, I’m Calvin.
I’m a Flash Developer, Interactive Designer and all round nice guy from Melbourne, Australia. From the outset, I may look like your typical hipster, but trust me... behind the collars of my all-the-way-to-the-top buttoned shirts is the neckline of a keyboard shortcutting geek who’s super enthusiastic about front end development and design.

I’m switching hemispheres in July to come flex my biceps (or lack there of) with the folks of New York City. To combat the exorbitant rent prices I’m most likely to encounter, I need to Get Money. Get Paid. But more importantly, I’d love to work for a place where I can learn, be inspired, collaborate with talented humans and contribute culturally to. Sound like somewhere you know? New York. Let’s dance.
