Ryan Phay is a Senior IT Systems Engineer and Principal DevOps professional based in Portland, Oregon, with a 25+ year technology career and nine years focused on DevOps, SRE, and cloud infrastructure. He has built SRE teams from scratch, led cloud migrations to AWS and Azure, and automated complex data platform deployments including Data Factory, Databricks, and Azure Data Lake disaster recovery. Known for translating legacy build systems into fast, reliable pipelines, he repeatedly modernized tooling across organizations using Terraform, Docker, PowerShell, and CI/CD platforms. At CLEAResult and prior roles he combines hands-on scripting and C# tooling with people leadership—training engineers and establishing standards that stick. He brings a gamer’s early-career background in build and install systems to a pragmatic, results-driven approach to reliability and deployment. Colleagues describe him as ubiquitous across projects—“here, there, everywhere”—which matches his habit of shipping both high-level process change and low-level automation.
