Ryan Begen is an Engineering Manager based in Glasgow with 11 years’ experience building and leading data platform and cloud-native teams. He has progressed from hands-on backend and data engineering—scaling time-series and search systems to handle millions of messages per second—to managing cross-functional product teams and delivery at Matillion and Traveltek. Ryan combines deep AWS, Python, Elasticsearch and streaming expertise with people-first leadership, hiring and mentoring engineers while shaping product roadmaps. He’s delivered data platforms and APIs designed for rapid scale, and has experience taking a startup from architecture to pitch-ready product as a CTO. Comfortable balancing compliance needs like GDPR/SOX with high-throughput system design, he brings both operational rigor and startup agility. Colleagues would note his ability to move between low-level performance tuning and strategic team-building without losing sight of developer experience.
