Ryan Lopopolo (he/him)

I am a software engineer with a passion for building resilient, scalable systems. I am a deep generalist with a bias toward backend services and infrastructure.

Building ChatGPT Enterprise at OpenAI. Previously tech lead at Snowflake building the data marketplace and group tech lead for developer productivity at Brex where I led a team of 40 and supported Brex's 350-person engineering organization. I also worked at Stripe when the company grew from 600 to 6,000 employees as a tech lead in both infrastructure and product organizations. I started my career at Box and Citadel.

My first love is the Ruby programming language. I am very productive in Rust and Python. I am lucky enough to have used all of these tools professionally and I use all of them while building Artichoke Ruby, an alternative Ruby implemenation written in Rust. 💎 🦀 🐍

I am a foodie 😋 and am always hooked up to Spotify 🎧. I enjoy hiking and snowshoeing in the Pacific Northwest 🏔️, strength training 💪, and working in my garden 🌱. I run a production observability stack at home to support my home automation infrastructure 🧑‍💻.
