Summary
Ryan Calme is a Senior Software Development Engineer with 10+ years building production-grade systems across advertising tech, automated essay scoring, and satellite ground station software. Currently at Amazon in Boulder, he has driven backend and tooling improvements and helped stand up a new office focused on Advertising technology. His background spans large defense programs at Lockheed Martin—where he led teams and cut build times by 70%—to machine learning-driven assessment services at Pearson and a long-running side project, AwardMapper, which aggregated hotel loyalty data and was implemented in Go. A hands-on tinkerer, he prototypes hardware and fabrication projects with Raspberry Pi, Arduinos, CNC, laser, and 3D printing in his spare time, reflecting a practical maker mindset that complements his software craft. He holds a BS in Computer Engineering and an MS in Software Engineering, and completed Udacity’s Machine Learning Nanodegree to deepen his applied ML skills.
