Summary
Ryan Smith is a Senior Software Engineer with 11 years of experience building resilient software distribution pipelines and automation platforms, currently expanding Device & Testing and DevOps/SRE tooling at Netflix. He has a strong track record of maturing CI/CD, observability, and multi-cloud infrastructure across startups and enterprise environments—from banking and healthcare to media—and was Calm’s first senior DevOps/SRE hire to stabilize their platform on AWS and Kubernetes. Equally at home writing infrastructure as code and low-level automation, he brings hands-on experience with Docker, Terraform, Kubernetes, Golang, Python, and complex regulated deployments. An active open-source maintainer in his spare time, Ryan blends academic rigor (MS Computer Engineering, BS Physics) with practical production engineering, often tackling the end-to-end flow of getting devices and services reliably tested and shipped.
