Hi, I'm Ryder.

I'm a DevOps Engineer and Developer Advocate who comes from a background in Biomedical Engineering, Science, and Aviation. I hang out at the intersection of technology and creativity.

I help companies with special projects to solve unique problems with AI and technology, for example:

• Making the lights on a city building flash when the team scores a point
• Using a camera and artificial intelligence to count cars in a parking lot, to know how full it is
• Creating engaging short and long form technical content to reach out to audiences

Technical Skills

I like to describe myself as a jack-of-all trades of the tech industry, but here's what I focus on the most:

def get_things_im_good_at():
    """Returns a list of commonly used skills"""
    return [
        'python development',
        'infrastructure as code (IaC)',
        'cloud computing & architecture',
        'full stack development',
        'aws',
        'gcp',
        'computer vision (machine learning)',
        'internet of things (IoT)',
        'hardware prototyping',
        'devops',
        'video creation',
        'technical writing',
        'building communities',
        'creative technology development',
    ]

It's by no means an exhaustive list, so if what you're after isn't on it, send me a message and I'll let you know if it's in my wheelhouse.
