Senior🎓
Top SchoolRyan Conway is an engineering manager specializing in backend systems and infrastructure with 11 years of experience building data pipelines, APIs, and scalable services for startups and research-driven products. Currently leading Backend & Infrastructure at Casetext, he blends hands-on engineering—working with Java, Python, Flink, RabbitMQ, GCP, and AWS—with empathetic team leadership to operationalize machine-learning-driven legal research. His background spans IoT, embedded systems, and cloud cost-optimization, giving him practical insight into both low-level systems and high-scale distributed architectures. Known as an "empathetic generalist," he mentors engineers while driving reliability, monitoring, and automation improvements that reduce toil. Based in Redwood City, he pairs academic training in computer engineering from UC Santa Cruz with a knack for turning research ideas into production-grade systems. Outside core projects he’s built tooling to cut infrastructure costs and instrumented services for better observability—work that often goes unnoticed but materially improves platform resilience.
