Senior🎓
Top SchoolMike Ryan is a seasoned fractional CTO/CPO and founder with 16 years running a digital product agency and 14+ years of hands-on experience shipping streaming and interactive products. He built A Different Engine from $0 to $4M, leading architecture and product for 150+ launches across mobile, web, Smart TV, OTT, and game consoles for clients like Comcast, ESPN, Red Bull Media House, and Neil Young. Known for zero-to-one initiatives, he blends product strategy, serverless engineering, and deployment to turn innovation pilots into lasting ventures (one pilot helped spawn Quil Health). Highlights include architecting Comcast’s live Sochi Olympics on X1 and the Neil Young Archives’ 200,000 sign-ups opening weekend, plus two Interactive Media Emmy nominations. Based in San Francisco with an MBA, he helps startups and established companies move faster with modern development and AI-enabled tooling. An uncommon strength is sustaining long-term client relationships—evident in a decade-long partnership with Red Bull Media House—while staying deeply technical.
