Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolRyan Perry is a GTM technical enablement and product leader with 9 years of experience turning complex engineering problems into clear business outcomes—from coding bootcamp to founding Pyroscope (YC W21) and ultimately selling it to Grafana. He built and shipped Pyroscope, an open-source continuous profiling platform, and led front-end work on its flame-graph visualizations that help debug performance down to a single line of code. At Grafana he bridged engineering, product, and go-to-market strategy for AI, profiling, and tracing products, and now focuses on enabling sales and growth for emerging technical offerings. Comfortable switching hats between hands-on development, product management, and GTM, he has a knack for learning new domains rapidly and simplifying trade-offs for teams and customers. Based in Oakland, he also writes about his technical and founder experiences, blending practical engineering chops with startup-operational rigor.
