About Me

A little bit about who I am beyond the code.

Who I Am

I'm Christian Calloway โ€” a full-stack Software Engineer II at Microsoft, a University of Washington alum, and a lifelong technology enthusiast from the Pacific Northwest.

I currently work on the Cybersecurity Defensive Engineering (CDE) Federal team, where I build and ship internal security tooling used across Microsoft. My work spans full-stack development โ€” from React frontends to C# and .NET backend services running on Azure.

Outside of work, I've always had a passion for creating things. I graduated from UW with a degree in Informatics, where I built everything from Android apps and interactive data tools to browser-based games. I'm driven by curiosity and the satisfaction of shipping something that genuinely helps people.

When I step away from the keyboard, you'll find me with a camera in hand, on a basketball court, hiking trails around the PNW, or deep in a game session. Photography has become a serious passion โ€” I love capturing landscapes, cityscapes, and the quiet moments in between.
