Top SchoolRyan Gomba is a founder and principal engineer with 14 years of experience building consumer products and financial infrastructure in San Francisco. He co-founded Even (acquired by Walmart) and led architecture, core product development, payments and bank integrations that served over 1 million users. Earlier roles at Instagram and SimpleGeo saw him ship foundational mobile features like video, people tagging, and an iOS SDK, and his independent work produced a #1 weather app. A hands-on mobile developer, he has contributed to React Native’s iOS native animation system — improving thread safety and parity with JS animations on a widely used open-source framework. Ryan combines product intuition with deep implementation skill across mobile, backend APIs, and infrastructure, and favors pragmatic choices that scale from prototypes to million-user services.
