Ryan An — Director of Engineering
Leading global cloud architecture and enterprise network strategy, enhancing system scalability and security. Guiding cross-functional collaboration to support large-scale customer cloud migrations and infrastructure optimization. Developing long-term architecture roadmaps to ensure technology direction aligns with company strategy My hobbies lie in examining "structure" and "order" from different perspectives: I enjoy architectural and aerial photography, often spending weekends out capturing light and shadow and urban skylines. I also take pottery classes, crafting slightly imperfect cups and bowls as a reminder that not everything needs to be production-grade. I occasionally read about landscape and garden design, fascinated by how a path, a tree, or a corner can make a stroll comfortable. When traveling, I always research airport layouts, subway systems, and urban traffic flow beforehand, so my itineraries often resemble a network topology diagram. In terms of giving back to the community, I care about environmental and ecological projects and have long been a supporter of organizations such as the Nature Conservancy and the World Wildlife Fund (WWF). I also participate in local river clean-up and urban green space volunteer activities, partly to relax and partly to do my part for the "real-world network of cities" where I live
