Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolRyan Billard is a seasoned software engineer with 11 years of experience building scalable systems, currently focused on scaling Postgres and other datastores on Notion’s infrastructure team. He brings deep production experience from Shopify, where he architected a 10x higher-throughput POS checkout, built resilient payment systems that enabled multi-country expansion, and engineered offline-online sync for catalogs of 500k+ products. Comfortable across the stack, Ryan has shipped full-stack TypeScript features, mobile API tooling, and low-level database optimizations, and he mentors peers to raise team capability. Based in New York, he combines academic rigor (BE with high distinction) with a practical curiosity—still “figuring out how computers work”—which drives a hands-on approach to complex performance and reliability problems.
