“I worked with Ryan for 2 years at Brave. He embodies all the qualities that a manager should strive for. Ryan knows how to be a leader that people want to follow. I started at Brave as a DevOps intern reporting directly to Ryan. At that time Brave was building out its internal monitoring and alerting platform. Although Ryan's role was managing the team, he included himself on the pager and responded to incidents like all the engineers under him. Seeing your manager respond to pages at all hours of the night alongside the other engineers is motivating. Ryan is reliable. Whenever I ran into an internal roadblock, or if my project was blocked by another team, the issue would be resolved by the end of that day if I looped Ryan in. He fights hard for his team members and in turn everyone is more productive. Furthermore, if Ryan gives you his word, he will do everything in his power to make good on it. Ryan understands the importance of in-person team building. Although the majority of Brave employees are remote, Ryan flew out to San Francisco for my first week of work, and brought several team members with him. Getting to know the team on a personal level was a huge factor in me joining Brave full-time. Ryan also to schedules annual meetups for the entire IT/Ops team. Under a tough deadline or an outage, a team that knows each other well will always perform better. Ryan is an excellent manager to have worked under. He has grown Brave's IT and Ops department from just him to a team of 20 that he oversees.”

"cyber" meant something very different when I was growing up than I think it means today. I still cringe when I hear it used. A/S/L?
