Summary
Pat Ripley is a pragmatic software engineer with 10 years of experience, currently an Engineer 3 at Enterprise Holdings in St. Louis, where he progressed through multiple engineering levels since 2018. A Southern Illinois University Edwardsville computer science graduate, he blends enterprise application development with hands-on IT and support experience from earlier roles. Pat has a track record of improving day-to-day operations through tooling and web solutions, having built property websites and introduced new technologies at Fireside Financial. Comfortable across help-desk, program direction, and production engineering, he brings practical customer-focused thinking from retail and Boy Scouts leadership into technical problem solving. His GitHub tagline, "I make stuff sometimes," hints at a pragmatic, get-things-done approach rather than flashy open-source fandom. Colleagues would describe him as reliably productive, adaptable, and oriented toward incremental improvements that reduce operational friction.
