Ryan Michael is a Senior Software Engineer with 11 years of experience building user-facing products and crypto infrastructure, currently helping assets move on and off the Gemini exchange. He has deep front-end expertise in React and UI systems from contributions to high-profile projects like Brave Browser and MetaMask, plus backend familiarity demonstrated through regex and tooling work. Ryan blends production experience at startups and established teams (Brave, MetaMask/Consensys, tea.xyz) with active open-source contributions that fix real UX bugs and add reusable components. Based in Phoenix, he pairs pragmatic engineering with curiosity—by day working in crypto, and by night collecting fiat rarities—bringing both product sensibility and a collector’s attention to edge cases.
