Platform Engineer & Founder

Ryan Scheinberg

I build the infrastructure other people depend on, for engineers and AI agents. At Bottomline, self-service platforms for 9 product lines. With SkillsCake, the context agents run on.

About

At Bottomline, I am leading the company's move onto a self-service Akamai WAF platform, and I help guide AI engineering. The throughline of my work is taking something only specialists can touch and turning it into something any team can run safely.

On my own, I founded Agent Horizon and built SkillsCake end to end, from the first line of code to the marketing. It does for AI agents what a good platform does for engineers: hands them the context they need to do real work.

Founder

Agent Horizon · 2025–present

Agent Horizon builds products that make AI agents faster and cheaper to run, and easier for anyone to understand. I built every part of the business from the ground up, from full-stack development of products to marketing and support.

Built

SkillsCake

Context engineering is hard, expensive, and out of reach for beginners. SkillsCake takes on that complexity and hands back a personalized, safe, and strong agent skill in minutes. You own your skill, and it runs across Claude Code, Cursor, and ChatGPT on fewer tokens. I treat SkillsCake as a security product: it defends against prompt injection, collects almost no data, and has no vendor lock-in.

My Harness

An open-source agent OS for Claude Code and Cursor. Reusable skills, subagents, and safety hooks, plus role-based sessions where a root operator spawns managers, a CEO, or specialized engineers to coordinate on a goal, with a human in the loop on the decisions that matter at multiple levels.

Beyond Work

Off the keyboard, I run Unicorn Hill Farm, with horses, daily chores, and heavy equipment. I'm an avid skier and an OEC-certified patroller at Whaleback. I have the cutest 1 year old German Shorthaired Pointer, and I cook both plant-based and animal-ingredient versions of recipes across cuisines.
