Geek. Writer. Music Lover.
Hi, my name is Ryan. I live near Seattle where I'm a Senior Full-Stack Engineer for WePay. In my spare time I goof around with my kids, watch movies, listen to music, cook, blog, and write software that benefits the entire web community. I created SimplePie and AWS SDK for PHP, and added PHP support to AWS Elastic Beanstalk. I'm passionate about UX. I value honesty, respect, passion, and being genuine. I believe in making tomorrow a better place than today. Formerly: Amazon Web Services, Yahoo!, Deem and Digital Impact.

Random thoughts about daily minutiae.
- RT @jcroft: "Design is about solving problems that humans have, not problems that products have." — @millsbaker So good. Couldn't have said it better.
- RT @nickf: Don't aim to ship a MVP (quickly release something subpar), aim to ship a MVX (focus on a good experience, let that drive the release).
- RT @h4cc: Reached 800 (!) composer packages tested against #HHVM http://j.mp/1iimCah
- RT @nickf: You should never have to describe yourself as an expert in something. This position is earned, not self-appointed. Earn it by doing.
- RT @om: Dear tech leaders if we don't defend net neutrality now it will all come and bite us in the back soon. please do whatever you can
