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.

Random thoughts about daily minutiae.


  • It's a little depressing to me that people climb on soapboxes to tell us that we should devalue intuition and emotional design. Yes, let design be as objective and mathematical as possible. 100% of robots agree.
