Jay Ryu is a pragmatic engineer and founder with a decade of experience building scalable systems and consumer products, currently working on AI tooling at Aikido Security. He was founding engineer at Glencoco, built and monetized a comics platform as a one-person startup (Mocha Jump), and has production experience at Facebook delivering high-throughput notification systems. Comfortable across microservices, backend scale, and early-stage product landings, he has led small teams and shipped features that handled 250k QPS. He favors concise communication (his public bios are cheeky) and documents lessons and work publicly via detailed Notion pages. Based in the United States with a BS in Computer Science from Rice, he blends startup grit with large-scale engineering rigor. An underappreciated strength is his ability to sell and build simultaneously—running product, growth, and engineering when it mattered.
