# Caleb Standfield

> Software engineer graduating from the University of Utah in December 2026 (B.S. Computer Science, AI track). Software Engineer Intern at Adobe, summer 2026.

I'm a full-stack engineer with a backend and systems lean, and I've owned LLM features at Adobe and on my capstone. At Adobe I built a feature that migrates AppMeasurement analytics code to the Web SDK, and I owned its translation stage, which combines deterministic processing with LLM translation to generate the new code. On Cadenza, my capstone Apple Music companion app, I own LLM song tagging from the backend service to the mobile UI. On the systems side, I built Cadenza's transactional event ingestion with dedup so retries don't double count, and I'm writing a multithreaded HTTP server from scratch in Rust.

## Experience

### Adobe, Software Engineer Intern (May 2026 - Aug 2026)

- Built an AppMeasurement to Web SDK migration feature in Python and TypeScript, extending support beyond Adobe Tags to standalone JavaScript implementations.
- Used Tree-sitter, dependency graphs, and topological sorting to find analytics code and the context needed for safe conversion.
- Owned code translation: a source-agnostic pipeline that combines deterministic processing with LLM translation to generate native Web SDK code from parsed source and variable mappings.
- Built frontend and backend review workflows that surface conversion results and point users to the exact code needing manual fixes.

## Projects

### Cadenza (in progress)

Apple Music companion app for song tagging, query-based playlists, and listening analytics. Capstone project. I own the LLM song-tagging integration end to end, and built a persistent listening-event queue with deduplicated ingestion so retries never double count. SQL-backed analytics drive calendar heatmaps, tag filters, and ranked listening history.

Tech: Rust, TypeScript, React Native, PostgreSQL, LLM Integration, System Architecture, Caching

### Web Server (in progress)

Multithreaded HTTP server built from scratch in Rust. Thread pooling and concurrency primitives handle requests, with async I/O and low-latency static file serving. Currently load testing on physical hardware to see how it holds up under concurrent load. Results coming soon.

Tech: Rust, Concurrency, Thread Pooling, Async I/O, HTTP, Performance

### blackjack (complete)

Complete blackjack game engine built from scratch in C++ and Qt, with AI-controlled opponents. Object-oriented design and a finite state machine manage game state transitions and event handling. Built on a six-person team following agile practices with daily scrum meetings.

Tech: C++, Qt, Object-Oriented Design, Finite State Machines, Event-Driven Programming, Game AI, Scrum

### learn-vim (complete)

An interactive Vim trainer built around real edits, not quizzes. Transform text and/or code in as few keystrokes as you can, with instant feedback and par scores to beat. Used for an organization lunch and learn, as a Vim refresher and a talk on how to keep using Vim in the age of AI.

Tech: JavaScript, React, Vim Emulation, Interactive Learning, Gamification, UX Design
