Caden Edam

I'm finishing a B.S. in Data Science at Purdue (December 2026, with an economics minor). This past summer I was at Archer Aviation building telemetry for the internal tooling their engineers use every day; before that I led the business side of a 200-member aerial robotics team and spent a couple of summers turning messy user data into something worth looking at.

Off the clock I build for a smaller audience: a modded game server for my friends, a voice assistant that reads my calendar so I don't have to, this site.

Here's how this place works: work is the record — internships, research, and projects, in enough depth to mean something. About is the longer story. And if you know me, there's a private half — photos, memories, what I'm up to — that opens when you sign in.

Selected work

All work

  • This website

    A personal site with two halves — a public portfolio, and a private one where every visitor sees exactly the slice I gave them and nothing beyond it.

  • Archer Aviation — Data Science Intern

    A summer building telemetry into the internal Python tooling used by 100+ engineers — and making the measuring invisible to the people being measured.

  • Spatial Deep Learning — Capstone Research

    Teaching a model to read hand-annotated WW2 troop maps and return them as 3D spatial data a GIS can actually use.
