About Ryan McCord

As a Principal Engineer at Capital One, I’m passionate about designing and scaling modern, cloud-native solutions that drive innovation and reliability across the organization. My work focuses on leveraging AWS serverless technologies—particularly AWS Lambda—alongside robust Java Spring Boot microservices to deliver secure, high-performance applications that empower both internal teams and millions of customers.With a deep background in distributed systems and cloud architecture, I thrive at the intersection of strategy and execution: defining technical direction, mentoring engineers, and implementing best practices for performance, resiliency, and maintainability. I’m especially motivated by opportunities to simplify complex architectures, accelerate delivery cycles, and ensure that engineering excellence remains at the heart of everything we build at Capital One.When I’m not designing scalable systems, you’ll find me sharing knowledge with peers, contributing to internal tech communities, and exploring emerging trends in serverless computing and modern API design.
