Hi, I'm

Ryan Crews

Software Architect & Full Stack Developer

I want to create things that make sense.

About Me

"People don't care about what you say, they care about what you build."

Technology is something I have been passionate about for as long as I can remember, so it wasn't a difficult decision to study Management and Information Systems in college. I'm often asked why I chose this subject and the answer is simple – technology has never failed to amaze me and fortunately I have been in the right generation to be able to keep up and observe the impact that it has on the world.

As a developer, I enjoy using my obsessive attention to detail, the rush of solving a problem, and the ability to create something from nothing, that might have the potential to impact the world.
