Summary
Ryan Susana is a founder and software craftsman based in the Netherlands with eight years of hands-on experience building cloud-native systems, microservices, and data pipelines across Java, Kotlin, Go, Dart/Flutter and TypeScript. He blends architecture and delivery—having led cloud migrations to Google Cloud, designed microservice landscapes on Azure and AWS, and shipped data engineering features with Apache Beam and BigQuery at bol.com. As a technical architect and cloud engineer he pairs pragmatic DevOps (Terraform, Kubernetes, CI/CD) with robust integration patterns (gRPC, Protocol Buffers, Pub/Sub, Avro) to solve real-world reliability and scalability problems. He also mentors teams and organized learning programs, showing a consistent drive to grow engineering culture alongside technology. A lifelong tinkerer who enjoys chess and music, he’s equally comfortable replatforming enterprise systems or prototyping cross-platform apps with Flutter. Currently he runs his own companies while advising KLM on GCP architecture, demonstrating entrepreneurial initiative grounded in production experience.
