My name’s Ryan.  I’m a software engineer living in the San Francisco Bay Area.

I went to school for my bachelors’ and masters’ in computer science at Purdue University, located in my home state of Indiana.  I grew up in Munster, Indiana, located about 45 minutes outside of downtown Chicago. I come from a family of five diverse children.

My interests lie in backend distributed systems and cloud computing.  I also like nature, journalism and writing, and an ever-growing list of hobbies and interests that changes quite a bit over time.

The goal of this website is to highlight work that I’ve done, mainly so I can look back and see what I’ve accomplished, or at least attempted, over time. You can follow the link below to my LinkedIn profile to see my professional history.
