Denver, Colorado, United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRyan Peterson is a seasoned mobile engineering leader and cofounder/CTO with 13 years of experience designing high-performance iOS systems and shipping production apps from startup prototypes to App Store releases. He blends low-level platform expertise (Objective-C/Swift, method swizzling, Mach-O tweaks) with pragmatic infrastructure work—networking libraries, build automation, notarization, and CI-friendly source injection—so teams reliably deliver hardened releases. Ryan has repeatedly led critical initiatives at fast-moving companies (Postmates, HouseCanary, Product Science) where he built tracing, debugging, and GraphQL/REST tooling that improved observability and developer velocity. He pairs strong testing discipline (600+ unit tests, integration test targets, Sourcery-generated mocks) with hands-on performance analysis and client-facing instrumentation. Based in Denver, he brings both startup grit and systems craftsmanship, often solving problems that sit at the boundary of OS internals and product needs.
