Trevor Ranney

October 2024 – Present

Lead platform modernization, cloud architecture, and full-stack engineering for a production inspection and compliance platform.

• Own high-impact product and platform initiatives spanning TypeScript/Node.js APIs, React/Next.js applications, PostgreSQL/Drizzle data models, data ingestion, reporting, document generation, external integrations, and AWS infrastructure.
• Translate ambiguous operational and product requirements into technical strategy, architecture, tradeoffs, actionable milestones, and production solutions with technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Led an SST v2-to-v3 application and infrastructure migration and large production data/storage migrations, coordinating environment changes while protecting data integrity, availability, and release stability.
• Define and support AWS serverless architecture using API Gateway, Lambda, S3, CloudFront, Route 53, SQS, RDS/Aurora, and related services across development, test, and production environments.
• Modernized legacy SQL and data-access patterns with type-safe, schema-aware data models and architectures, improving maintainability, scalability, and safety in business-critical workflows.
• Helped grow automated test coverage from effectively zero to nearly 80%, establishing expectations for new code and strengthening CI feedback, QA practices, and release confidence.
• Drive design and code review, production diagnosis, release validation, rollback planning, and technical documentation; identify systemic architectural improvements and durable fixes across shared platform services.
• Build and support workflows involving inspection management, data ingestion, document/PDF generation, CSV processing, asset delivery, and integrations with external systems.

November 2023 – July 2024

Delivered client-facing digital products and improved engineering workflows across application, API, and integration layers.

• Built and shipped React, Next.js, TypeScript, and Node.js features end-to-end, translating changing stakeholder requirements into maintainable production systems.
• Worked across UI, API, data, and integration boundaries rather than isolating decisions to a single application layer.
• Improved application architecture, automated testing, deployment workflows, and integration patterns to reduce coupling and increase delivery confidence.

August 2016 – December 2022

Enterprise product engineering across fintech, healthcare, retail, and internal platforms.

• Delivered more than 20 products across architecture, APIs, implementation, testing, DevOps, and production support, partnering directly with product owners, designers, engineers, clients, and business stakeholders.
• Architected and built enterprise and customer-facing APIs and platform features, including fintech onboarding workflows, healthcare and telehealth systems, and distributed retail ordering software deployed across 1,000+ locations.
• Contributed to resilient retail systems designed to preserve store operations during internet outages, requiring coordinated decisions across UI, application, API, synchronization, and data layers.
• Moved fluidly across API development, UI/product work, integrations, data, infrastructure, and production troubleshooting as priorities and project needs changed.
• Turned ambiguous business requirements into shipped software while balancing near-term delivery with maintainable architecture and long-term technical health.
• Raised engineering standards through test-driven-development training, reusable implementation patterns, design and code review, mentoring, and end-to-end ownership of complex production problems.

October 2012 – June 2016

High-volume, compliance-intensive mortgage document and data-processing systems.

• Built REST services, document-processing systems, compliance workflows, internal developer tools, and CI/CD automation for infrastructure supporting approximately 25% of U.S. mortgage document volume.
• Worked with business-critical customer and document data in a regulated environment where correctness, traceability, secure access, and release reliability were core system requirements.
• Led delivery of source-control, database, testing, and release tooling that improved developer productivity, change recovery, testing consistency, and secure access to customer data.
