Summary
Ryan Sisson is a software engineer with nine years of experience who currently develops for NASA's SENSE contract at Peraton, bringing production-grade web and cloud skills to mission-driven work. He has built end-to-end web services—React frontends and Django backends—with hands-on AWS deployments (S3, CloudFront, EC2, SES, Route 53) and integrated full-text search via Elasticsearch for intuitive UX. Ryan’s background includes migrating infrastructure and designing denormalized schemas for read-heavy workloads, and he’s comfortable in Agile teams using Git and Jira. He also translated a deterministic biological model into a stochastic Python implementation during undergraduate research, reflecting a knack for turning theory into practical simulations. Based in Reston, VA, he combines academic depth (BS + MEng in CS from Virginia Tech) with pragmatic engineering for cloud-enabled, searchable web applications.
