Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRyan Resella is a staff software engineer with 14 years of experience building high-throughput, production systems for social impact and government technology. He has led engineering teams at Change.org—driving an Event Driven Architecture and a migration from EC2 to EKS for a communications platform that handles over a billion emails per month—and previously scaled Rails infrastructure and CDN delivery at Upworthy. A Code for America fellow and former technical lead for Obama for America, he blends public-sector domain expertise (land use, permitting, ArcGIS) with modern distributed systems practice using Elixir, Ruby, AWS, and Terraform. He founded Resella, Inc. to consult for local governments and nonprofits, reflecting a consistent focus on mission-driven software. Ryan pairs hands-on implementation with team leadership, sprint planning and operational on-call policy experience. Less obvious: his background includes both an MPA and deep municipal application development, giving him rare fluency in policy, civic workflows, and engineering trade-offs.
