Hello! I'm Ryan Marsh, a Python backend developer based in Centreville, VA, with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from Western Governors University. I hold an active Secret Clearance and specialize in building secure, scalable APIs using Django, FastAPI, and Django REST Framework, integrated with PostgreSQL databases. My passion lies in developing mission-critical applications for defense, government, fintech, and regulated sectors, where I prioritize reliability, security, performance, and data-driven insights.
With a strong foundation in Agile workflows, testing, and data analytics (using Pandas and Scikit-Learn), I'm eager to contribute to innovative projects that solve real-world problems. I enjoy collaborating in cross-functional teams and continuously learning new technologies to enhance backend efficiency and user experience.
