Summary
Ryan Chadwick is an IT Architect and cloud engineering leader with 14+ years designing, modernizing, and operating large-scale systems for state, federal, and regulated environments, currently focused on AWS GovCloud for mission-critical workloads. He architects end-to-end, event-driven platforms using containers and serverless patterns (ECS/Fargate, Lambda, SNS/SQS) and drives IaC and repeatable delivery with AWS CDK, CloudFormation, and Terraform. Ryan pairs hands-on software engineering and DevSecOps experience with operational rigor—leading ATO efforts, vulnerability remediation, and observability at scale. He has led cloud and DevOps transformations across AWS, Azure, and on-prem data centers, and has deep experience designing high-volume document and XML ingestion pipelines that balance performance, resiliency, and cost. Known for pragmatic, production-first architecture rather than theoretical designs, he often serves as the technical advisor bridging engineering, security, and operations. Based in Columbia, Maryland, he brings both tactical implementation chops and strategic platform leadership for regulated federal programs.
