Calvin VanRiper II

I build practical software that transforms complicated workflows into reliable, accessible, and user-centered tools.

I am transitioning into software development after a 20-year U.S. Army career in information systems and technical leadership. My experience combines JavaScript application development, workflow automation, Power Platform solutions, systems administration, and the delivery of technology in mission-critical environments.

My recent work includes responsive JavaScript applications that manage user-entered data and integrate external APIs, along with the Army Logistics & Hardware Resources Management System—a Power Apps and SharePoint solution designed to replace a 1,408-record Excel equipment tracker with controlled transaction workflows and auditable data.

I approach software development with the same priorities that guided my military technology work: understand the real problem, design for the people using the system, document important decisions, and build solutions that remain dependable under real-world conditions.
