Ryan Tablada is a Senior Software Engineer II with 13 years of experience building and modernizing full‑stack web applications and developer tooling. Based in Nashville, he combines deep backend expertise (Node.js, .NET Core, JSON:API) with front‑end work in Ember and TypeScript to support large, high‑transaction retail platforms and SaaS products. He led a small engineering team to shrink CI/test times from over an hour to under 15 minutes, migrated Ember 1.13 to modern Ember 3.28, and architected tooling for deprecation and migration tracking to reduce technical debt. An active mentor and instructor, he founded EmberGrep and taught immersive front‑end cohorts, pairing practical curriculum design with hands‑on coaching. He’s also a thoughtful open‑source contributor—helping improve JSON:API and Laravel internals—bringing a blend of product focus, operational rigor, and developer experience to every codebase.
