Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolRyan Boyer is a pragmatic data engineering and data science leader with 10+ years of experience building production ML systems, analytics platforms, and data infrastructure for high-growth products. He helped scale Shipt from startup to a $550M acquisition by designing financial reporting and serving critical ML models, and later led data engineering and migration efforts at Shopify for the Shop product family. Ryan excels at being dropped into messy systems to quickly untangle architecture, drive incremental improvements, and make best practices the easy path for teams—often educating hundreds while overseeing thousands of jobs. He blends hands-on work (dbt, PySpark, BigQuery, Airflow, streaming) with strategic vision around eligibility, targeting, and real-time data pipelines that moved measurable business metrics. Beyond technical impact, he prioritizes people-first systems and teaching, pairing technical craft with strong mentorship. Based in Birmingham, AL, he enjoys getting "dirty to make things clean," and remains open to role pivots that broaden his impact.
