Zac Ruiz
Co-Founder at Salt IO
Pennsylvania, United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolZac Ruiz is a founder and data-focused engineering leader with nearly two decades building explainable, high-confidence data systems for financial markets and enterprise clients. As co-founder of CMD+RVL he designs metadata-first infrastructure that enforces lineage, freshness, and defensible short-horizon signals so analysts and investors can trust every chart and number. His background ranges from hands-on systems and architect roles at DBRS and TD Waterhouse to founding Salt IO and leading enterprise transformation at The Select Group, showing a blend of product, ops, and engineering depth. Zac’s work emphasizes decision assurance over black-box analytics, turning the common blind spot of “unexamined data” into verifiable inputs for rapid decisions. He mentors early-career engineers, advises data-driven firms in capital markets and real assets, and is equally likely to be baking slow-rise bread or cooking a complex meal when not designing feedback loops. Based in Pennsylvania, he pairs electrical engineering roots with practical experience shipping frequent, production-grade systems that scale trust as well as intelligence.
