About Ruben Ruiz

A recent Skidmore College graduate armed with a Bachelor of Arts in Computer Science, I am enthusiastic about harnessing my technical proficiency to address tangible challenges and drive value for both clients and stakeholders. My adeptness encompasses constructing microservices using Java and Spring Boot, navigating AWS resources like S3, EC2, and Lambda, and orchestrating software development and deployment via Jenkins and Spinnaker.During my tenure as an intern at Rapid7, I crafted cutting-edge developer tools to interface with AWS S3, revolutionizing payload analysis for debugging purposes and significantly reducing search time. Collaborating closely with experienced engineers, I played a pivotal role in the concurrent development, debugging, and deployment of release builds to pipelines using Spinnaker. Furthermore, I innovatively utilized the Slack API to augment existing applications, streamlining the on-call experience, and diligently rectified prevailing bugs in the production data pipeline. A strong commitment to documentation was evident in my practice of meticulously recording all production-bound work through Confluence, fostering a foundation for future reference and growth.This experience seamlessly paved the way following my Software Development Engineer Internship at Amazon Web Services (AWS). In this role, I orchestrated the creation of a groundbreaking connection enabling AWS Elastic Container Service (ECS) to accommodate custom procedures exceeding the previous 15-minute limitation of AWS Lambda, all implemented through Java. Rigorous unit and integration testing employing Java, TypeScript, Docker, JUnit, Jqwik, and Python were integral to ensuring the utmost quality upon production deployment. My extensive analysis of key AWS services including CloudWatch, S3, and IAM attested to the seamless integration of the tested code. Facilitating collaboration and achievement, I consistently convened team meetings to strategize project goals and guarantee the deployment of top-tier production code.My reverence for the intrinsic value of work, dedication to continuous learning, and belief in the synergy between technology and people exemplify my approach. By fostering meaningful connections, I bridge the gap between technology and its human impact, enabling me to craft solutions that genuinely matter.
