Hello, and welcome! I'm Ryan: a husband, living kidney donor, certified scuba instructor, software engineer, gamer, American University alum, and car enthusiast living in the greater Philadelphia, PA area.

I've been a software engineer for years now. My expertise is in Ruby and Rails, but I also have a lot of experience on the front end (HTML, CSS, JavaScript/TypeScript & React), and in other languages like Golang.

I work on the Explore/Connect team at Care.com, building and maintaining a Rails-based e-commerce application designed for kid-centric businesses. I maintain and build new features for the Rails app, including working on billing logic, managing internal- and external-facing APIs, and interfacing with Care.com's other services. I have also been helping maintain several React-based micro-front-ends served by GraphQL APIs and Go microservices.

In my personal time, I enjoy scuba diving, driving my convertible, going to the beach, cuddling with my cat and dog, playing video games, going to car meetups, reading the lastest space and aeronautics news, and playing D&D with my friends.

If you'd like to chat for (almost) any reason or to learn more about me, feel free to reach out using the contact links at the top of the page or check out my resume. Thanks for stopping by!

-Ryan
