Senior🎓
Top SchoolPJ Ryan is a senior software engineer based in San Francisco with 11 years of professional experience and a strong focus on privacy, safety, and delightful user experiences. He has driven user-facing safety initiatives at scale—building in-app reporting, blocking, age assurance, explicit media redaction, and moderation tooling at Discord—and shipped polished UI features and embedding tools at Dropbox. Comfortable across the stack, PJ’s background spans frontend-heavy roles with Typescript/Angular and Node to C++/C# integrations for enterprise clients, reflecting breadth from prototyping on Android to vehicle CAN BUS tooling. He’s consistently paired product sensitivity (safety and privacy) with pragmatic engineering: launching admin-facing interfaces, internationalization tooling, and internal developer experiences. Colleagues would note his knack for improving hiring and design processes as well as leading cross-team technical reviews. PJ brings a blend of hands-on implementation and operational stewardship that helps translate complex policy needs into usable, auditable systems.
