Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRyan Ciehanski is a systems engineer with nine years of hands-on experience designing, managing, and supporting hybrid IT infrastructures across enterprise and mid-market environments. Rooted in a lifelong curiosity—he built his first PC at 11—he combines practical end-user support experience with network engineering and systems administration, most recently in roles from Systems Administrator to Systems Engineer. Comfortable across cloud and on-prem stacks, Ryan has a track record of meeting SLAs in regulated contexts and rapidly scaling support processes while keeping uptime and security front of mind. He is constantly expanding his toolkit and approaches problems with a maker’s mindset—“what I cannot create, I do not understand”—which drives both troubleshooting depth and a quiet entrepreneurial ambition to build his own company. Based in Chicago, he seeks collaborations with fellow entrepreneurs and technologists who value pragmatic, infrastructure-first solutions.
