Summary
Ryan Marvin is a Lead Software Engineer with 10+ years building resilient, scalable backend systems across web3, IoT, consumer tech and B2C services, currently leading engineering at Peerfolio from Portugal. He is an expert in Python (Django, Flask), Typescript/Node.js and Elixir, and brings strong SRE/devops chops—AWS/Azure, Kubernetes, Terraform, CI/CD and observability—to bridge development and operations. Ryan has repeatedly reduced operational load and improved performance (e.g., replacing polling with sockets to cut backend load by 97.5% and optimizing launch readiness for thousands of signups per minute). He excels at architecting distributed systems, mentoring teams to multiply developer output, and institutionalizing incident response and SLO-driven reliability. A published author (Python Fundamentals, 2018) with a taste for “hand-stitched grass-fed organic code,” he combines practical engineering rigor with a collaborative, documentation-first culture.
