Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRyan Waite is a Principal Software Engineer with 11 years of experience building full-stack, cloud-native applications across finance, government, and SaaS industries. Currently at Capital One, he develops dealer-facing Auto Navigator software and previously advanced through multiple engineering roles at FINRA, focusing on big data ingestion, modern UIs, and AWS migrations. He blends front-end expertise in Angular/TypeScript and accessibility-conscious web development with backend work in Java/Scala, CI/CD, Docker, and AWS services. His academic path—BS in Computer Science and an MS in Cloud Computing—mirrors a practical curiosity evident since Year Up and a NASA data-management stint. Practical, detail-oriented, and comfortable spanning product-facing UI work to infrastructure migration, he’s equally at home optimizing Selenium test suites as architecting cloud deployments. A self-described “Just A Programmer/Developer,” he pairs a playful love of language and data types with rigorous engineering discipline.
