My Skillsets
Web Engineering
Throughout my career, I have primarily focused on front-end web development, specializing in the creation of design systems and web components that bring life to diverse applications. The front-end realm is where I truly excel as a developer.
While my experiences as a full-stack developer have been limited, I embrace the opportunity to expand my skill set. I am eager to grow and become as proficient in building APIs as I am in crafting front-end solutions.
Here are a few of my favorite languages, frameworks, and technologies that I enjoy working with:
| Technology | My Uses | Confidence |
|---|---|---|
 React.js Building interactive user interfaces with reusable components. | ||
 Next.js Building server-rendered and statically generated web apps. | ||
 Tailwind CSS Utility-first CSS framework for rapid and responsive web development. | ||
 TypeScript JavaScript superset for static typing and enhanced developer productivity. | ||
 Contentful A headless CMS for flexible content creation. | ||
 Ember.js Ambitious web framework with conventions for efficient application development. | ||
 Playwright Fast and reliable end-to-end testing for modern web apps. | ||
 Chakra UI A flexible and accessible UI component library for building React applications. | ||
 CSS Styling language for describing the presentation of web page content. | ||
 JavaScript Building web applications. I mostly use TypeScript now. | ||
 Material-UI Pre-designed UI components that follow the Material Design patterns. | ||
 Node.js Building server-side apps and APIs. | ||
 React-Query Data-fetching library for managing, caching, and synchronizing data in React applications. | ||
 Sanity.io Headless CMS for structured content management. | ||
 Python General scripting and web-scraping. | ||
 Recoil.js Simplified globalized state management. | ||
 Vercel Simplified project deployment and hosting. |
Creative Production & Community Building
Outside of writing code, I lead one of the most absurd event series in the country — Ryan Meetup, a national community built only for people named Ryan.
I handle concept creation, branding, programming, promotion, and partnerships for each of our 15+ events. From Ryan Raves to Ryan Summits, I bring people together through shared identity, inside jokes, and a deeply unserious sense of seriousness.
These projects have been featured in The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, CBS News, and ABC News, just to name a few — and prove how far a ridiculous idea can go with the right execution.
