Summary
Ryan Reich is a senior blockchain engineer in Los Angeles with 11 years of experience bridging deep mathematical research and production engineering. A former algebraic geometer and PhD in mathematics, he applies formal thinking to design smart contracts, consensus algorithms, and scalable blockchain clients. His background includes Haskell-heavy protocol work at BlockApps and ConsenSys, Kotlin-based supply chain optimization leadership at Target, and current engineering on Flare Network. Ryan combines research-grade rigor with hands-on deployment and API development, and has led simulation and optimizer projects that translate theory into operational systems. He often explores lazy evaluation and mining-free consensus ideas—an uncommon cross-section of pure math, functional programming, and applied distributed systems.
