Meet Ryan: Bridging Tech and Reality at TwinLabs

If you ask Ryan what it means to be a Solution Architect at a startup like TwinLabs, he’ll tell you it’s about context. Context for customers, for data, for design decisions, and ultimately, for impact.

“Solution Architecture here isn’t just about making the tech work, it’s about making it make sense,” Ryan explains.
“To the customer, to the product team, to the broader roadmap. Every decision flows downstream.”

It’s a perspective born of experience — and of necessity. Ryan’s role sits at the intersection of implementation and innovation, translating product vision into reality and customer needs into technical blueprints that scale.

Engineering What Matters

Right now, much of his focus is on designing and refining the delivery pipelines that power the customer experience.

“A lot of what I work on is invisible when it’s working well, but when it’s not, everything breaks,” he says.

That includes working closely with data engineers and the AI team to ensure that what ends up in a dashboard, report, or Maria’s next insight is useful, reliable, and live.

He’s especially excited about how the platform is evolving — particularly the ability to support use cases far beyond its gym-focused beachhead.

“What we’re building isn’t just a gym analytics tool. It’s a spatial intelligence platform. The architecture we put in place today needs to work for tomorrow’s industries too.”

Why TwinLabs

That forward-thinking posture is part of what drew Ryan to TwinLabs in the first place.

“I wanted to be at a place where the tech was ambitious but grounded. Where people weren’t afraid to build hard things,” he says.
“And where the team actually ships. That mattered.”

He found exactly that. From day one, Ryan was given real ownership of high-impact projects.

“There’s trust here. Real trust,” he says.
“You’re expected to lead and backed when you do.”

Trust, Autonomy, and Craft

That trust extends across the company’s remote-first culture.

“We’re not in endless meetings. We communicate clearly, check in intentionally, and give each other space to think. That’s not just good for focus — it’s good for engineering.”

Tools like Notion, Figma, and Slack structure the day, but Ryan’s best thinking often happens offline.

“I’ve come to really value time away from the screen. It helps you come back with better questions. And better answers.”

What he appreciates most about the team isn’t just their technical chops — it’s their attitude.

“No one’s here to impress anyone with jargon. People are genuinely sharp and just as genuinely humble. There’s dry humour, quick wins, and the occasional Friday ‘what if’ thread that turns into a real feature.”

Thoughtful Systems, On and Off the Clock

Outside work, Ryan’s interests reflect the same thoughtful intensity he brings to his role. He’s an avid reader, a casual cyclist, and a relentless tinkerer, whether it’s with home automation or his coffee setup.

“I like building systems. Whether they’re for work or just making mornings smoother.”

Looking Ahead

So where does he see the company heading next?

“We’re at that inflection point. The foundation is there. The vision is clear. In a year, I think TwinLabs will be operating across multiple industries — and we’ll still be shipping fast, still solving hard problems, and still laughing in Slack.”

And if someone’s thinking about joining?

“If you’re serious about your craft and want to do your best work without all the noise — this is the place.”
