About Kalista Shields
With a Bachelor of Science in Creative Technologies and Computer Science from Berry College, I am a jack of all trades who is passionate about accessibility and assistive technology. I have multiple skills in HTML, CSS, C++, and Java, as well as Arduino IDE and Fusion360. I hope to be a mechanical engineer so I can use the skills I learned in school to problem-solve and help others. During my time at Berry College, I created several mobility aids using CNC technology and 3D modeling. Most notably, I made the cosplAID a guitar prop that transformed into a cane using a removable handle. The project was modeled in Fusion360 and fabricated with CNC machinery. As an Laser Technician and IT consultant at LCS Consulting, I have contributed to various projects for clients in different industries, creating and maintaining websites, applications, and databases that are user-friendly, functional, and secure. I have also helped build and maintain a Lumina SLT laser that is used for trabeculectomy. I have also co-hosted Tier it Up, a podcast that explores popular culture and ranks aspects of it. My goal is to use my knowledge and experience to create solutions that are accessible to people from all walks of life.
