Summary
Michael Ryan is a software engineering lead with 8 years of experience building and scaling web harvesting, API, and search engine systems for LexisNexis after its acquisition of Moreover Technologies. He leads distributed developer teams, quickly troubleshoots production issues, and has delivered order-of-magnitude improvements in performance, stability, and cost efficiency across AWS-based systems. Deeply pragmatic, he pairs hands-on coding in Java, Perl, Bash, and MySQL with expertise in Solr/Lucene, Elastic, Kafka, and containerized deployments (EKS/EC2/S3). He also owns security audits, encoding and timezone edge cases, and has a knack for reducing operational toil—often increasing admins’ sleep hours. Based in Dayton, Ohio, he graduated magna cum laude in Computer Science from The Ohio State University. An avid problem-solver, he enjoys diving into stack traces and regular expressions to tame messy production realities.
