Better Teams, Better Products, Better Software, and Better Jobs.
I'm glad you're here! Whether you're looking for help making your teams the best they can be, bringing a new product to market, or are interested in getting a better job, Ryan has over a decade of experience helping companies and individuals find, "Better."
Getting Around
I write about a lot of topics and I have helped lots of folks over the years. This site is something like a beautiful mess of all of it. I'm not pretending everything here is well thought-out or even spell-checked.
Main Focuses
- Leadership - I excel at building and leading exceptional software teams. You can learn my tricks, ideas, theories, and such here.
- Product Management - From start-ups to Fortune 10 companies, from discovery to scale, I've brought amazing products to market.
- Careers - Getting a job is soul-crushing. It turns out I'm really good at it and I have lots to share if you're in tech.
This is new. I want to capture some of the stuff that is rattling around in my brain. So one part guide and one part reference.
I've done a fair amount of speaking at conferences and such. Take a look.

Beekeeping 🐝
Yep, I'm a beekeeper. You'll find the occasional bits and bobs about that here as well.
Games
Well, more specifically TTRPGs. Check it out!
reko.day
reko.day is my start-up. It is the easiest way to buy and sell local. You will likely find me working-in-public here.
