ALi Forrester

Calypso Arcana, LLC, Owner/Engineer

Hey y'all, I'm ALi --> a passionate and enthusiastic queer, licensed engineer, and the singular wo-man powerhouse behind Calypso Arcana, LLC --> a bold experiment in harnessing modern technical wizardry to make water systems more accessible and intuitive for everyone.

I blend AI, data visualization, and human-centered design to transform complex water system challenges into engaging solutions. Think SCADA systems and hydraulic models reimagined through the lens of accessibility and visual storytelling—where every dashboard tells a clear story and every tool invites exploration.

When I'm not crafting vibrant solutions to technical puzzles, you'll find me immersed in learning about everything from glacial preservation to indigenous wisdom, or seeking out the quiet corners of nature. I believe in technology that serves humanity, designs that welcome everyone, and engineering that makes room for wonder.
