Geek. Writer. Music Lover.

Ryan Parman

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.

  • @garrettmurray You said it: you need to sit with it. It feels so wrong to me, I can’t form words. So I’m going to sit with it too. But if you asked me to form words, they’d start with “dog” and “shit”.
