Summary
Ralph Scronce is a senior software engineer with over two decades of hands-on experience and five years focused in his current defense role, specializing in missile guidance systems and mission-oriented solutions for the US Navy. He blends deep legacy systems expertise (C++, mainframe migrations, Oracle/Sybase) with modern cloud and edge prototyping—having developed AWS Rekognition and Snowball-based proofs-of-concept for secure image classification and mission planning. Ralph has repeatedly led technical teams and architecture efforts across federal agencies, tailoring COTS ERP products, re-architecting high-performance financial systems, and driving DevOps and data conversion initiatives. His academic work in web technologies and information management from Harvard complements a strong mathematical foundation, enabling rigorous design and troubleshooting. Notably, he moves comfortably between blue-chip consulting constraints and rapid prototype development for competitive proposals, making him effective at both sustaining critical production systems and inventing new mission capabilities.
