Summary
Ryan Delgado is a Staff Software Engineer specializing in data platform engineering with 11 years of experience building production-grade infrastructure for analytics, research, and ML. Based in the NYC metro area, he has a track record of founding and scaling teams—hiring four engineers in six months at Ramp—and defining roadmaps that unite analytics and platform needs. He led critical migrations and orchestration rebuilds (Airflow/Astronomer, Snowflake) that cut failure rates by over 95% and enabled seamless, zero-downtime platform moves. Prior roles at Citadel and Deutsche Bank show deep expertise in large-scale ETL, Spark, Snowflake, Python, and automated data quality systems, plus experience translating business requirements into robust pipelines. He pairs hands-on implementation with operational rigor and mentoring, having grown engineers into senior leaders across global teams. Unusually for an engineer with his platform focus, he began with an economics BA and later earned an MIDS from Berkeley, which informs his pragmatic, data-driven approach to infrastructure design.
