Summary
Ryan Mcgandon is a senior software engineer with 11 years of experience building data-driven, cloud-native systems across healthcare, genomics, and enterprise domains. He excels as both a hands-on contributor and a mentor, shipping Python-based tooling, microservices, and data integrations that enable scientists and clinicians to analyze large, complex datasets. His background spans startups and large firms—including Embark Veterinary, TriNetX, Capital One, and Dell—where he learned new languages and infrastructure patterns to move projects from prototype to production. Based near Boston, he has a noted fondness for Lisp and “lesser” languages, reflecting a deep curiosity about programming languages and system design. A practical collaborator, he has worked closely with domain experts (geneticists, nurses, infrastructure teams) to translate real-world problems into reliable software. If you encounter work under the name Ryan Gannon, it’s the same engineer who recently changed his last name to McGandon.
