Ryan focuses on backend infrastructure, cloud systems, scalable product engineering, highly available microservices, and robust APIs. Ryan’s strongest work spans AI infrastructure, cloud data pipelines, and authentication security, with experience translating ambiguous product requirements into production-oriented technical solutions. At Xenon Health, Ryan led a three-person team building an Azure-based lead-prediction data platform that centralized more than 60 Google Sheets and 3.5 million rows in SQL, reducing analytics-update latency to under 15 minutes. Ryan also built an autonomous recruiting agent on Cloudflare Workers using TypeScript and an OpenAI function-calling loop, and helped deliver secure JWT-based cross-service token validation through a Node.js and FastAPI gateway. Ryan won the AWS AI Tech Hackathon Impact Track after leading a three-person team to deploy real-time triage guidance using a hybrid REST and WebSocket architecture with AWS Bedrock models. Ryan works with Python, Java, TypeScript, SQL, JavaScript, React, Node.js, FastAPI, Flask, AWS, Azure, Cloudflare, and distributed-systems concepts. ## Highlights - Led a three-person team at Xenon Health to build an Azure-based lead-prediction data platform integrating more than 60 Google Sheets and 3.5 million rows into a centralized SQL database. - Designed an ETL workflow across Google Apps Script, Azure Blob Storage, Azure Data Factory, Python workers, and SQL staging tables for scalable ingestion from dynamic data sources. - Implemented schema normalization, column mapping, duplicate detection, validation checks, retry logic, and structured error logging at Xenon Health, reducing rejected records by 80%. - Automated Xenon Health data-refresh workflows, reducing manual spreadsheet processing by 90% and cutting analytics-update latency from several hours to under 15 minutes. - Developed an autonomous AI recruiting agent on Cloudflare Workers using TypeScript and an OpenAI function-calling loop. - Engineered asynchronous background-task execution for the AI recruiting agent, eliminating response latency by 40%. - Built a Node.js and FastAPI frontend gateway for secure JWT-based login and cross-service token validation, decreasing end-to-end latency by approximately 30%. - Won the AWS AI Tech Hackathon Impact Track after leading a three-person team to deploy real-time triage guidance through a hybrid REST and WebSocket architecture using AWS Bedrock models. - Tutored primary-school students in reading, writing, mathematics, and critical thinking at CS Education Sydney, supporting standardized-test performance and entrance-exam readiness. - Used personalized teaching methods at CS Education Sydney, receiving positive feedback from parents and fostering students’ receptiveness to feedback. ## Experience - **Software Engineer Intern at Xenon Health** (2025-05-01–2025-08-01) — \-Led a 3-person team to build an Azure-based lead prediction data platform, integrating 60+ Google Sheets and 3.5M+ rows into a centralized SQL database for business analytics. -Designed the ETL workflow across Google Apps Script, Azure Blob Storage, Azure Data Factory, Python workers, and SQL staging tables to support scalable ingestion from dynamic data sources. -Implemented schema normalization, column mapping, duplicate detection, validation checks, retry logic, and structured error logging, reducing rejected records by 80%. -Automated data refresh workflows and reduced manual spreadsheet processing by 90%, cutting analytics update latency from several hours to under 15 minutes. - **Tutor at CS Education Sydney** (2022-11-01–2023-07-01) — \- Tutored primary school students in reading, writing, math, and critical thinking, enhancing standardized test performance and entrance exam readiness - Introduced personalized teaching methods, garnering positive feedback from parents and fostering receptiveness to feedback ## Education - Bachelor of Science in Engineering - BSE, Computer Science and Economics — University of Pennsylvania - High School Diploma — Knox Grammar School ## FAQ ### What does Ryan do?
