Ryan Wilson is a Senior Software Engineer with 13 years of hands-on experience evolving from tech support to architecting high-performance systems that routinely handle thousands of RPS. He’s built production-critical platforms across Microsoft, Realtor.com, Tile, Disney Streaming and Telly TV—ranging from a 14,000 RPS Feeds API and a lead-notification engine predating EventBridge to an ad-serving pipeline in Go and a Final Fantasy XIV plugin platform serving 250k users. Ryan specializes in latency-sensitive, modernization-driven work: cloud migrations, CI/CD automation that cut deploy times by 91%, and front-end performance wins (Lighthouse 18→98). He mentors engineers actively, contributes to open-source UI tooling (WPF/MahApps), and pairs system-level thinking with pragmatic, idempotent infrastructure-as-code. Not obviously apparent from titles alone, he also designs custom water-cooled PCs—an indicator of his appetite for complex, hands-on engineering.
