Ryan Parman

Hi, my name is Ryan. I live near Seattle where I'm a Software Engineer for Amazon Web Services. In my spare time I play with my kids, watch movies, listen to music, cook, rollerskate, blog, tell really bad jokes, 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.
