Senior🎓
Top SchoolRyan Smith is a seasoned full-stack engineer and startup consultant based in Portland with 12 years of professional experience and a 25-year history applying software to business problems. He specializes in generative AI tooling for legal contract review, shipping end-to-end features from OpenAI-powered workflows and React front ends to Go/Postgres APIs. Ryan has repeatedly resurrected and scaled products—leading front-end and full-stack efforts that turned failing SaaS into acquisitions and built high-throughput mapping and visualization systems for logistics and security use cases. He combines pragmatic system design (AWS microservices, GraphQL-to-TypeScript pipelines) with hands-on UI craft like D3 timelines and performant Mapbox clustering. A practical tinkerer, he also experiments with productivity tooling—publishing an Obsidian plugin that drives 400 installs/month—bringing product curiosity to every engagement.
