Hi! I’m Ryan. 👋

I’m an Engineer and Consultant using technology to deliver social and environmental good.


My Mission

Technology provides opportunity for more now than at any time in human history, but while education and quality of life flourish for those to whom they are available, the chasm of inequity grows with every unconsidered keystroke by those of us that call ourselves engineers and technologists. To be forward-thinkers does not excuse us from laboring to mend the social ills of the past… or the present.

My work strives to maintain a high standard of ethical and social consideration, to adopt practices that foster productivity through democratic workflows and contributor self-actualization —rather than regimented command structure— and to contribute to projects that seek to create the greatest good, and to help serve as stewards for each other and our environment, both local and global.

“The Future is here, It’s just not evenly distributed.”
—William Gibson, The Economist, 2003
