Ryan Speakman

I’m a Senior Full-Stack Developer with 6+ years delivering scalable healthcare and enterprise applications using Django, React, and AWS. I focus on real outcomes—like improving performance, strengthening compliance, and owning mission-critical systems end to end.

In my current role (AI Metrics, Senior Full-Stack Software Engineer), I architected a healthcare platform serving 1,000+ medical professionals with 99.9% uptime. I achieved a 10x performance improvement in medical image loading by optimizing Django backend queries and implementing multi-tiered caching, reducing radiologist analysis time by 45%.

I also build for regulation and reliability. I architected HIPAA-compliant multi-account AWS infrastructure using Terraform/Terragrunt, automated security controls with SOC-2 audit logging (zero external audit findings), and designed DR systems with AWS RDS Multi-AZ, ElastiCache replication, and S3 cross-region backup.

To accelerate engineering velocity, I bridge development and DevOps through Infrastructure-as-Code and CI/CD automation, and I develop AI-assisted workflows. From integrating DICOM/PACS and HL7/EMR workflows to building Agent Assignment Dashboard tooling (Next.js + Express) for autonomous agent orchestration, I’m driven to reduce manual overhead and ship with confidence.
