Brock Ramsey

Full-Stack Engineer

SaQus LLC•  April 2022 - April 2024•  Falmouth, Massachusetts and Albany, New York

At SaQus LLC, I managed AWS infrastructure, including EC2, RDS, S3, and Workspaces, ensuring secure and efficient systems with SSL encryption, load balancing, and proper network configurations. I developed custom applications, such as a financial management system for Hunger Solutions of New York and title search software for Apexiem.com, which streamlined operations and enhanced user experience. I maintained and enhanced multiple websites by implementing bug fixes, updates, new features, infrastructure changes, and refactors to ensure optimal performance. Additionally, I managed Windows and Linux servers, performed routine maintenance, security updates, and automated deployment pipelines using CI/CD to minimize downtime and enhance productivity. Working in an Agile environment, I participated in BA meetings, personal growth discussions, and used tools like Confluence, Jira, and Bitbucket for documentation, project management, and code collaboration. Mentoring an intern was a highly rewarding experience, allowing me to share my knowledge and foster the growth of a new engineer. Through these responsibilities, I gained invaluable experience and developed both technical and collaborative skills, contributing significantly to project success.

Autodidact

Computer Science, N/A•  January 1998 - Present

As an autodidact in computer science, I have pursued self-directed learning to master the principles and practices of the field. Through full-stack development roles, extensive reading of computer science literature, rigorous exercises, and hands-on projects, I have developed a robust understanding of both theoretical concepts and practical applications. My learning journey has been fueled by curiosity and a passion for technology, allowing me to gain proficiency in multiple programming languages, software development methodologies, and modern frameworks. This self-taught path has honed my problem-solving skills, adaptability, and ability to independently acquire new knowledge, making me a versatile and resourceful full stack software engineer.
