Calvin Hendryx-Parker, CTO and Co-Founder of Six Feet Up and one of only 53 AWS Heroes in North America, has been named to the inaugural Indiana AI Innovation Network Leadership Council.
Powered by TechPoint, the Network brings together tech leaders from across Indiana to shape the future of responsible and impactful AI innovation.
Launched in January 2025, the Indiana AI Innovation Network was created to accelerate AI adoption across a variety of industries.
By linking startups, enterprise leaders, academic institutions, and AI practitioners, the Network aims to turn ideas into action and amplify the innovations already emerging from Indiana’s tech ecosystem.
“We’ve got the talent, the vision, and the momentum,” said Calvin. "The Network is about turning that potential into progress by connecting innovators, sharing ideas, and creating a strong, forward-thinking community.”
Calvin is one of six founding members of the Indiana AI Innovation Network Leadership Council. Tasked with providing strategic direction, fostering peer-to-peer learning, and advancing the real-world use of AI, the Council plays a key role in shaping Indiana’s innovation landscape.
This diverse group of leaders brings together deep expertise in AI strategy, data science, venture development, and enterprise technology.
Council Members include:
Calvin brings decades of technical experience to the Leadership Council. At Six Feet Up, he leads a team of senior engineers known for tackling complex software challenges across more than a dozen industries.
His recent AI work includes developing multimodal personas that boost user engagement in education and finance, building a HIPAA-compliant chatbot that supports patient decision-making, and creating a natural language search tool that gives farmers access to 50 years of agricultural research.
“These projects show how AI can be both practical and transformative,” said Calvin. “Serving on the Leadership Council gives me an opportunity to share these lessons and learn from others pushing boundaries in their fields.”
Calvin’s appointment reinforces Six Feet Up’s commitment to shaping the future of AI — not only through leading-edge software solutions, but by staying actively engaged in the ecosystem that drives innovation, regulation, and long-term impact.
