Skills
My work starts with front-end engineering, product judgment, and the systems thinking needed to turn ideas into things people can actually use. Agents help me explore and implement much faster, but those skills still shape what gets built and what ships.
Using coding agents to explore, implement, test, and revise quickly, then applying the front-end judgment that turns their output into dependable product work.
Component architecture, interaction patterns, and shared primitives that hold up as products and teams grow.
Taking work from an unclear idea to a finished experience, connecting product decisions, interface details, and implementation along the way.
Agents cover a lot of ground in a day, but the speed is only useful because I know the front end well enough to direct it: shaping the architecture, catching brittle output, protecting shared patterns, and pushing until the result feels intentional rather than generated.
01
Give the work a shape
I define the problem, the constraints, and the patterns worth preserving. Better context gives agents a better starting point and keeps fast work pointed in the right direction.
02
Iterate at agent speed
Agents help me move through implementation, refactors, tests, and alternate approaches in parallel. I can cover more ground, try more ideas, and get to useful feedback sooner.
03
Finish with judgment
I review the code and the experience, catch brittle decisions, and keep pushing until the result fits the product. Fast output is a starting point; the finished work still has to feel intentional.
This list is short on purpose. It's what I'm in every day and can defend in a code review, not everything I've ever touched.

I co-run Ryan Meetup, a community brand and event series built on shared identity, humor, and intentionally ridiculous programming. It's taught me more about being a founder than any job has: taking an idea from 0 to 100, funding it through sponsors, handing real ownership to organizers in other cities, and keeping it recognizable while it scales.
I also built and run the infrastructure the whole operation sits on — every Ryan Meetup web property, plus the internal systems organizers use for chapters, events, sponsors, and partnerships. It's the one place I get to be the engineer, the creative director, and the operator at the same time.
Turning a loose premise into formats, activities, and live experiences that give people a reason to participate and come back.
Shaping the voice, visual direction, campaigns, and recurring bits that make Ryan Meetup recognizable without sanding off the joke.
Working with sponsors, collaborators, and press while protecting what makes the community feel genuine in the first place.
Building the public sites and internal systems that support events, chapters, merchandise, sponsors, and the work behind the scenes.
Recruiting and supporting organizers in other cities, then handing them real ownership along with the tools and playbooks to run their own events.
Running the day itself: run of show, vendors, AV, staffing, and the contingency plans that keep a room of strangers moving.
