Ryan Parman
Geek. Writer. Music Lover.
Hi, my name is Ryan. I live near Seattle where I'm a Software Engineer and Web Developer for Amazon Web Services. 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. Previously, I founded or co-founded SimplePie, CloudFusion and WarpShare. I value honesty, respect, passion, and being genuine. I believe in making tomorrow a better place than today.

Random thoughts about daily minutiae.
- @bradbatt: Except that half the time, I can’t remember the answers to the questions. Where they ask for make but I had originally written the model.
- Just enabled two-factor authentication in my Twitter account. Twitter now joins Apple, Google, Facebook, Dropbox, Microsoft, ADN, AWS, Stripe and others who support better security. Guess who still doesn't support two-factor auth? My bank.
- I made the mistake of sharing my thoughts on how to pronounce GIF. I am a fool.
