My name is Ryan,
I'm

I'm so glad you've taken the time to pay me a visit. I love putting software and technology to work solving fun and interesting problems both at work and in my personal life. I believe that tackling problems with technology can be a fun and rewarding experience. I have been a full-stack software engineer for over 8 years working primarily with APIs and web stacks. When I'm not coding, you can find me enjoying the peace and grounding of the great outdoors hiking, camping, and kayaking.
