Summary
Ryan Taus is a software engineer with 11 years of experience, currently building production systems at Google from his base in Los Angeles. He is fluent in JavaScript, Python, Java, and Go, and brings full-stack web development, game development, and robotics experience to complex engineering problems. Prior roles include platform and robotics work at Brain Corp and SDK development for cross-platform apps, reflecting a blend of low-level systems and developer-facing tooling. As a former research fellow, he combined reinforcement learning and genetic algorithms to create a fallible AI for strategy games—an example of his appetite for creative problem solving. He also has a track record mentoring students through university teaching and Google’s CSSI program, so he balances hands-on coding with collaborative teaching. Colleagues would describe him as passionate about craft and quietly competitive — his GitHub bio even jokes he might be the GOAT.
