Ryan Laurie is a full-stack software engineer with nine years of experience who transitioned from a prior career as a white-collar criminal and commercial litigator to building production web and mobile systems. Based in Colorado Springs, he has driven front-end UI work on the popular open-source Metabase analytics platform and led conversion of legacy PHP sites to API-driven React apps, while also architecting backend services and CI/CD on AWS. He combines rigorous analytical skills honed in complex litigation with practical engineering: modernizing monorepos, automating deployments, and shipping a React Native mobile product that cut messaging costs dramatically. Comfortable across front-end UX, backend microservices, DevOps, and product ownership, he excels at untangling complicated systems and turning them into maintainable, testable platforms.
