Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJustin Ryan is an engineering manager with 14 years of experience who builds resilient distributed systems and scalable developer platforms, currently leading teams at Roblox from San Carlos, CA. He specializes in developer productivity, internal tools and infrastructure, and has driven large transformations at Netflix—modernizing build systems, distributing security to the edge, and unifying user and device identity. His identity and security work cut average latency by ~30%, reduced 99th-percentile latency by 20%, and lowered reauthorizations by double digits, and produced a patent-pending representation for unified identity. A hands-on leader and mentor, he thrives on starting solutions to large, messy problems, rallying cross-functional stakeholders, and turning prototypes into long-lived platforms (including serverless integrations and distributed build tooling). Active publicly as @quidryan, he looks for growth-stage companies where technical change and people development are both priorities.
