Ryan Seipp

Hello, I'm Ryan Seipp

I'm a platform engineer with years of experience building scalable APIs and web apps as a software engineer. I'm focused on building scalable, efficient, and secure production environments. Additionally, I'm interested in improving developer efficiency and autonomy through self-service infrastructure.

Outside of work, my interests have lead me to investigate and experiment with network technologies and declarative systems. I tinker on a homelab running NixOS and Kubernetes, or work on building atop of Linux's io_uring for more efficient web frameworks and applications.

Outside of tech, I enjoy walks with my dog, Formula 1, and golfing on warm weekends.
