Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolRyan Christiani is a senior engineering manager and founder with 11+ years building full-stack products and leading teams from startups to scale-ups, most notably driving Shopify’s React Native POS rewrite and validating the framework for company-wide adoption. He blends hands-on technical execution—React, TypeScript, Hasura, React Native and AI/LLM integrations—with product-led engineering, having been founding engineer at Opener where he architected an AI sales platform and custom high-deliverability email infrastructure. Ryan also co-founded Faro, shipping a timezone-aware scheduling and real-time communication platform, giving him rare 0-to-1 product experience alongside later growth-stage operational rigor. Comfortable growing teams and orgs (from single digit to 20+ engineers) and translating customer metrics into pivots, he pairs technical depth with instructional leadership from earlier CTO and instructor roles. Based in Toronto, he brings a pragmatic, metrics-driven approach to building cross-platform experiences and resilient systems.
