Caleb Ruhm
Software Developer
I’ve been with the Davin Healthcare crew for over three years now, and it’s been an amazing place to focus on both personal and professional growth. When I’m not tackling tasks at work, I keep busy with a few hobbies that allow me to unwind and get creative. Most of my free time is spent outdoors, whether I’m skiing, running, or exploring with my camera in hand, seeking the next great shot.
For my creative outlet indoors, I dive into the world of music production and digital design. It’s a fun, challenging way to build something from the ground up. I believe in bringing the same sense of adventure and creativity to every project, and I look forward to contributing to Davin’s success for many years to come!
