Senior🎓
Top SchoolRyan Morten is a Senior System Engineer in Portland with 11 years of experience modernizing infrastructure and driving operational efficiency across high-traffic e-commerce and SaaS platforms. He led complex zero-downtime migrations—moving large Postgres and Mongo datastores into AWS RDS and hybrid/cloud environments—and cut costs and incidents while improving customer experience. Comfortable across tooling from Terraform, Kubernetes, and Cloudflare to Datadog and Grafana, he blends hands-on automation with incident management and capacity planning. A pragmatic tinkerer, he builds analysis tools (Go, InfluxDB) and Slack integrations that surface actionable insights for teams. His background ranges from desktop and school IT to release automation at Nordstrom Rack, giving him a rare empathy for both developer and operational workflows. Colleagues rely on him to combine efficiency-minded engineering with a subtle “hackery” that finds elegant, low-friction solutions.
