Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRyan Black is a security-focused technology leader and founder with a decade of experience building high-performing, distributed teams and scaling SaaS operations with hands-on engineering. He has led security and compliance transformations as CISO at multiple companies, drove FedRAMP/IL-5 initiatives, and negotiated data-driven budget and staffing improvements that shifted security from tool-centric to engineering partnership. A pragmatic builder, he founded Campkin.app to own product architecture and operations end-to-end, applying cloud-native practices (.NET 9, Kubernetes, PostgreSQL HA) learned from enterprise-scale work. Known for outcome-oriented leadership and empathetic team development, he consistently reduces costs and accelerates delivery—e.g., cutting contracting spend dramatically and improving vulnerability triage and phishing metrics. Based in Birmingham, AL, he mixes occasional coding and lifelong tinkering with strategic vision, often amplifying others’ impact through training, consensus-building, and practical tooling.
