Ryan Mcquen is a Staff Software Engineer with 11 years of experience building high-availability microservices and full-stack systems, currently driving backend work at Classy.org from Everett, WA. He has a strong track record modernizing legacy monoliths into fault-tolerant services at scale, including production systems at StockX that handle millions of requests per day and feature work that cut manual team effort by ~76%. Ryan pairs backend architecture with front-end and DevOps improvements—running zero-downtime data migrations, implementing caching layers, and improving local developer experience. He’s comfortable across the stack (React, CMS APIs, SQL/NoSQL) and is motivated by making teams more efficient, a theme evident since his early work launching dozens of sites and developer tooling. Notably, he balances pragmatic delivery with systems-level thinking, shipping both user-facing apps and the infrastructure that keeps them resilient.
