Hi! I’m Ryan. I lead engineering at Spoonflower

I’m an engineering leader who still likes having fingers on the keyboard. I’ve led teams, architected, and shipped across a lot of domains including ecommerce, healthcare, fintech, SaaS, and genealogy. The through-line is always the same: complex systems that got messy, teams that need to move faster, and processes stuck somewhere between “push and pray” and something you can actually trust. I lead engineers at Spoonflower across the entire SDLC — application, frontend, platform, search, manufacturing, and infrastructure. I’m also deep in how AI can be a real force multiplier for organizations and engineering teams. Not as a buzzword, but as actual leverage for speed, clarity, and confidence.
