Caden Bartley

Finance & Accounting — Clemson University Honors College, Class of 2029

I study finance and accounting in the Clemson University Honors College, where I carry a 4.0 grade point average. For the past three summers I have run aquatic operations for Greater Nashville Pool Management, hired as a lifeguard and promoted twice in two seasons to Head Manager over two facilities and a staff of forty.

Seeking Summer 2027 finance and accounting internships.

Profile

Beyond the résumé.

I took my first job in the summer of 2023 as a lifeguard at a high-traffic outdoor pool in Nashville, and before that first season was out I had been promoted into management — assistant manager the following summer, head manager the summer after that.

The same standard carries into the classroom at Clemson, where I have finished each of my first two semesters in the Honors College with a 4.0 and President's List honors, and where the coursework moves into Intermediate Financial Accounting (Honors) and Cost Accounting this fall.

The two build on each other — management showed me how a business runs day to day; finance and accounting are how I will learn to lead one.

The rest of my time belongs to soccer — I play every chance I get, watch every Chelsea match I can, and this summer played semi-professionally for TN Tempo 2.

This page is the longer version of my one-page résumé.

Projects

Memrith

Desktop application

May 2026 – Present

Designer & Developer

Built end-to-end with Claude Code

Every layer — Python backend, JavaScript frontend, packaging, and the release pipeline — designed and written in partnership with Claude Code.

  • Built to solve my own problems with AI: memory locked to a single model, context that collapsed under large sets of documents, and memories that tangled together the longer a conversation lived.
  • Memrith keeps a permanent, structured memory on the user's own machine instead — independent of any one provider, so switching models no longer means starting over, and organized and searchable, so it scales past what a chat window can hold.
  • Written for macOS and Windows as a fully self-contained build — a Python engine behind a local interface, with on-device semantic search and a timeline that keeps a growing memory bank in order.
