Senior🎓
Top SchoolBrent Riva is a Principal Software Engineer with a decade of experience building scalable, production-grade systems at Capital One, where he now develops internal platforms for creating and deploying credit underwriting algorithms. He combines a BE in Computer Science with a minor in Economics from Penn State, bringing both technical depth and market-aware thinking to data-driven decision systems. His background spans full-stack development, cloud engineering (AWS), CI/CD, and real-time microservice architectures, and he has presented internally on automated testing and deployment practices. Having held government clearances and contributed to both public- and private-sector projects, he balances security-conscious engineering with a commitment to mentoring—stemming from his time as a university learning assistant. He also brings a habit of practical research and tooling from internships, including work on monitoring, mobile VPN integrations, and data-mining prototypes, which helps him translate experimental ideas into reliable production features.
