Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNick Ryan is a founder and machine learning engineer with a decade of experience building production NLP and deep learning systems for startups and enterprise clients from New York City. He runs ShatterTech, where he architects end-to-end pipelines — from multi-GPU training, BERT-style encoders and multilingual NER to LLM fine-tuning, RAG, agents with tool use, and privacy-preserving personalization tied into OAuth ecosystems. His background includes hands-on work in search ranking, relation extraction, vector-quantization research and benchmarking for custom similarity hardware, plus product-focused roles that sharpen his ability to translate business requirements into rapid prototypes and measurable ROI. He publishes and presents applied research on topics like sparse attention, quantization, LoRA and novel sequence modeling primitives, and has implemented experimental architectures for multi-token prediction and learned residual connections. Clients have ranged across financial compliance, education and BI, and his tooling emphasizes reproducible evaluation and cost/benefit tradeoffs. Trained in physics, math and linguistics at NYU, he blends formal modeling skills with practical systems engineering and product sensibility.
