Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRyan Spore is a versatile full‑stack software engineer based in San Francisco with 13 years of experience building production systems across Ruby on Rails, Android, and modern JavaScript stacks. He embraces language agnosticism, having shipped projects in Elixir, Erlang, Go, Scala, Python, Objective‑C, Groovy and more, and brings strong TDD and agile discipline to every codebase. Ryan has driven measurable product and operational improvements—migrating job pipelines to Sidekiq and adding real‑time monitoring at Amitree, and integrating analytics, CI, and Slack workflows at consumer startups. He’s comfortable both pairing on UX‑facing features and implementing backend reliability work, often working with Phoenix/LiveView and React/Rails hybrids. Known for pragmatic engineering rather than tool fetishism, Ryan focuses on maintainable systems that accelerate teams and reduce toil.
