Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDonald Sisco is a Lead Software Engineer with nine years of experience building and modernizing web applications, specializing in Ruby on Rails, Ruby, and full-stack integrations. He has driven SaaS architecture and large migrations on AWS, upgraded legacy Rails systems across major versions, and translated core Delphi code into maintainable Ruby—demonstrating strength in pragmatic modernization. At Kyndryl he progressed from software engineer to lead within months, contributing automation APIs and desktop tooling using Node and Electron. He pairs a strong academic foundation (MS from Johns Hopkins, BS from Rose-Hulman) with hands-on agile leadership, including planning poker and mentoring. Comfortable across languages like C# and Java, he focuses on shipping reliable, vendor-integrated software that balances technical debt reduction with new feature delivery. An understated trait: he repeatedly turns legacy constraints into scalable, cloud-native solutions rather than rebuilding from scratch.
