Ronald specializes in automating the movement and transformation of data between systems, orchestrating workflows, and building API\-driven architectures that preserve data integrity and support zero\-downtime transitions\. He is particularly strong at owning features end to end, translating stakeholder requirements into technical solutions, and building trust through transparent communication and visual explanations of complex technical details\. Ronald led the migration of a legacy data\-ingestion service that reduced latency by 40% while supporting three times the data volume\. His technical work includes AWS infrastructure, Spring Boot and Node\.js backend development, PostgreSQL data persistence, and recent integration of AI tooling and agents for automated code analysis and test generation\. Earlier, at Mphasis, Ronald helped modernize a Java legacy monolith into smaller modules on the path to microservices and contributed to Java event\-driven microservices using Kafka and Cassandra for real\-time updates to a legacy service\. He holds a Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics with a minor in Computer Science from New York University and is interested in building product features closer to customer problems\. ## Services - Python - Microsoft Word - Java - Microsoft Office - Windows - HTML - Calculus - Linear Algebra - Object Oriented Software - C - Assembly Language - Real Analysis - Abstract Algebra - JavaScript - Spring Framework - Spring MVC - Spring Boot - Scikit\-Learn - Matplotlib - NumPy - Jupyter - JSON - Node\.js - Maven - Model\-View\-Controller \(MVC\) - Algorithms - Kubernetes - Linux - Version Control - SOAP ## Highlights - Led migration of a legacy data\-ingestion service, reducing latency by 40% and increasing supported data volume by 3x\. - Builds backend services and data movement pipelines for internal enterprise applications at JPMorgan Chase & Co\. - Specializes in automating data movement, data transformation, and workflow orchestration between systems\. - Migrates legacy systems to API\-driven architectures while maintaining data integrity and zero downtime\. - Uses AWS for infrastructure, Spring Boot and Node\.js for backend development, and PostgreSQL for data persistence\. - Integrates AI tooling, including agents, to automate code analysis and test generation\. - Owns features end to end and translates stakeholder requirements into technical solutions\. - Builds stakeholder trust through transparent communication and visual explanations of technical details\. - At Mphasis, helped modernize a Java legacy monolith by decomposing it into smaller modules on the path to a microservice architecture\. - At Mphasis, contributed to Java event\-driven microservices using Kafka and Cassandra to update data for a legacy service in real time\. - Worked as a Software Developer at Judge Consulting Group\. - Earned a B\.A\. in Mathematics with a minor in Computer Science from New York University\. - Applies Java, Python, JavaScript, C, assembly language, Spring Framework, Spring MVC, Maven, JSON, RESTful web services, SOAP, Kubernetes, Linux, and version\-control tools\. - Uses software quality and testing practices including JUnit, Cucumber, behavior\-driven development, test\-driven development, JMeter, and SoapUI\. - Brings analytical foundations in calculus, linear algebra, real analysis, abstract algebra, algorithms, and problem solving\. ## Experience - **Associate Software Engineer at JPMorgan Chase & Co\.** (2021\-09\-01–present) - **Software Developer at Judge Consulting Group** (2021\-05\-01–2021\-09\-01) - **Associate Software Engineer at Mphasis** (2018\-07\-01–2021\-01\-01) — Worked on team working on modernizing a java legacy monolith and decomposing it into small modules in transition towards a microservice architecture\.
