Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRyan Yost is a software engineer and tech leader with nine years of experience building web products and developer-oriented tools from front-end polish to backend delivery. After pivoting from an economics background into coding, he progressed from front-end roles to senior engineering and CTO responsibilities, most recently holding senior engineering at WriterDuet and leadership roles at Advize while now at Nominal. He combines an eye for user-facing detail—once obsessing over CSS minutiae—with product sensibility, having helped create Advize’s 11,000+ bite-size career interviews to scale career exploration for students. Based in Denver, he balances hands-on engineering with strategic technical advising and a pragmatic, maker mindset summarized simply on GitHub as “building bigger and better things.”
