Summary
🤩
RockstarRyan Gard is a pragmatic software developer and engineering leader with 11 years of experience designing test frameworks, CI/CD pipelines, and scalable web platforms. He founded Gardian Capitol to build a microservice-backed health study tracking app—creating a custom Python framework, a TypeScript React front end, and a deployment pipeline using Dokku, Ansible, Keycloak, and GitHub Actions. Across roles at Puppet, Rackspace, and others he revived stalled automation efforts, built pytest plugins and tooling, and embedded QA into engineering teams to improve release confidence. Currently a Traffic Attendant with Washington State Ferries, he pairs frontline responsibility for safety and revenue control with an ongoing commitment to software craftsmanship. Known for pragmatic tooling (from Beaker helpers to pytest extensions) and rolling up his sleeves to both lead teams and ship code, he brings a rare blend of operational discipline and hands-on engineering.
