Sebastian Calderon
Intern to Field Engineer
"I had the privilege of interning with Keller throughout my studies, and it allowed me to practice and build the same topics and concepts I was learning in the classroom. My favorite part is being able to know and be proud that I had a hand in a new structure or project being built."
