Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRyan Johnston is an engineering manager with 15 years of software experience and a 12+-year track record at notable Silicon Valley and e-commerce companies including Netflix, American Eagle, and CrossFit. He combines hands-on full-stack development (Ruby on Rails, Ember.js, Node.js) with team leadership and API-focused developer advocacy, having led engineering teams and developer integrations. Ryan has designed serverless AWS workflows and refined microservice architectures to accelerate business outcomes for SMBs and enterprise clients. Based in Pittsburgh, he balances professional engineering leadership with community impact—volunteering as an adult English teacher and expressing a clear interest in dedicating more time to nonprofits. He’s comfortable translating between product, clients, and engineers to make developer experiences smoother, and he brings practical operational knowledge from CI/CD to cloud deployments. Colleagues describe him as a pragmatic architect who prefers improving workflows and documentation as much as writing new features.
