Senior🎓
Top SchoolAdam Ryan is a Senior Software Engineer in San Francisco with 12+ years building backend systems, APIs, and developer-facing infrastructure across healthcare, advertising, and consumer data startups. He combines hands-on engineering—modernizing monoliths into microservices, rearchitecting large-scale data ingestion, and integrating CI/API testing—with leadership experience as a manager who has hired, onboarded, and coached high-performing teams. At Inspire he led a migration of 50M+ user records and tightened compliance and security practices; at Virta he introduced pytest harnesses and identified critical security issues, driving developer adoption through workshops. Currently focused on core backend services and AI initiatives at Annalect, he brings a systems mindset rooted in an electrical engineering degree from Penn State and early systems engineering work at Lockheed Martin. Notably, his background as a professional poker player honed probabilistic risk assessment and decision-making under pressure—skills he applies to architectural tradeoffs and incident response.
