Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolRyan Lelek is a founder and hands-on tech investigator who builds and rescues mission-critical systems, solving problems most teams declare "complex" in a single week. With 12+ years of professional experience and 19 years coding since his teens, he combines enterprise-scale security and high-throughput engineering (formerly at Capital One) with startup agility proven as a Thiel Fellow. He’s known for pragmatic, no-theater interventions that recover millions in revenue and replace endless consulting cycles with clear, executable fixes. A practical full-stack engineer, he has also contributed security-focused improvements to open-source projects like Raneto by adding configurable authentication. Based in the Greater Chicago Area, he charges for short, decisive engagements that deliver solutions or a precise roadmap, rather than decks and discovery phases.
