Christian • Software Dev • iOS Apps
Hey — I’m Ryan. I’m based in California, and I like building things that are useful, simple, and quietly well-made.
Professionally, I’m a software developer. Most of my work lives in the web world: WordPress, PHP, and the practical systems behind real websites — forms, payments, course platforms, automations, performance tuning, and all the “why is this doing that?” debugging that nobody wants until they desperately need it. I also offer hosting now, where I offer managed WordPress hosting and site care for small businesses — clear plans, real support, no mystery invoices.
Lately I’ve also been getting into iOS app development. It’s been a fun (and humbling) shift — learning a new ecosystem, thinking more like a product designer, and shipping something polished. My first app, LightsOut recently launched, and you can find whatever I’m building over on my Apps page.
On the personal side: I live with FSHD (facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy), a progressive muscle disease. It’s reshaped what I can do physically and how I plan my days. Some parts of that are frustrating, some are clarifying, and all of it has forced me to think harder about identity, purpose, and what actually matters.
If you want to learn more about the condition or support research, the FSHD Society is a great place to start.
My faith is central to who I am. I’m a Christian, and my relationship with God shapes my values, how I treat people, and how I try to show up in the world — with honesty, humility, and care. I don’t pretend to have everything figured out, but I’m serious about pursuing what’s true and living it out.
Outside of work, I’m usually doing one of three things: woodworking, theology/ Bible study, or building apps. I like learning, I like volunteering, I like making, and I like problems that have elegant solutions (or at least solutions that don’t turn into a maintenance horror story).
If you’re here because you know me already, welcome. If you found something I built or wrote and wanted to know who’s behind it — that’s me.
