Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolRyan Schmukler is a founder and engineering leader with 14 years of experience building scalable web platforms, AI-driven urban infrastructure tools, and proprietary systematic trading infrastructure. He co-founded Urbint (acquired) and Spotlight.fm, led open-source work—most notably on Agenda, a widely used Node.js job scheduler—and contributed to high-performance libraries in Clojure/Script and Angular Material. Equally comfortable in back-end systems, data transformations, and front-end component design, he combines hands-on engineering with product and business strategy through his consultancy Teknql and current venture Dynamic Alpha. Based in Texas but operating globally, Ryan has a track record of turning research and infrastructure challenges into production systems that scale, and often surfaces non-obvious improvements in data handling and transformer logic that reduce complexity for downstream users.
