Summary
Ryan Ransford is a seasoned software engineer with 14 years of professional experience and nearly two decades of hands-on development across enterprise and real-time data domains. He currently builds cloud-native systems at Hagerty and previously architected ingestion, ETL, and real-time delivery pipelines at Wood Mackenzie using Python, Airflow, Kafka, Docker, Kubernetes and Azure. Equally comfortable in backend services (Java, C#, Python) and frontend work (TypeScript, Angular), he has repeatedly solved performance bottlenecks—most notably by designing a time-series-aware value cache to avoid heavy DB reads. A pragmatic mentor and collaborator, he emphasizes making others more effective, embracing change, and shipping iterative improvements end-to-end from requirements to deployment. Based in Lanesville, Indiana, he brings a track record of cross-cutting contributions spanning web services, data engineering, and operational automation.
