About Me
Hi, I'm Caleb Mercier, an aspiring software engineer with a background in financial services and a passion for solving complex problems with clean, efficient code.
After earning my Bachelor's in Personal Financial Planning and working across several roles in the financial industry—from paraplanning to client service and coaching—I discovered a deep interest in the logic, creativity, and structure of software development. That interest has since grown into a full-fledged career pursuit, and I’m currently completing a Master of Software Development at the University of Utah (graduating December 2025, GPA 4.0).
My experience uniquely bridges two domains: the analytical rigor of finance and the technical depth of software engineering. In my financial roles, I developed a sharp attention to detail, collaborated with diverse teams, and supported hundreds of advisors and clients nationwide—all skills I now bring to software development.
My goal is to apply these skills in a full-time software engineering role where I can contribute to building robust, scalable systems and continue growing as a developer. I'm especially interested in backend development, but I bring a full-stack mindset and a strong willingness to learn.
