Tom Ryan
Senior VP Of Doing Everything Myself & Chief Growth Engineer at Selfarama
Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
Summary
👤
SeniorTom Ryan is a pragmatic senior engineering leader and solo growth engineer based in Melbourne with 11 years of hands-on experience modernising infrastructure, observability and security for enterprise and high-stakes live services. He’s moved large fleets to IaC and automation (Terraform, Ansible, CDK/SLS) and has delivered resilient, low-latency scoring and telemetry systems used by millions during events like the Australian Open and driverless train operations. Equally comfortable leading small teams or doing “everything myself,” Tom blends product-minded engineering with deep operational instincts gained across telecoms, media and critical national services. He’s built ELK/Elastic-native observability platforms that translated exotic telemetry into millions in savings, and now publishes his book brand in public while running his independent studio, Selfarama. Notably, his career traces from large-scale Unix and web ops (BBC, News International) to modern cloud-native stacks, giving him rare breadth from kernel-level sysadmin to cloud automation and security.
