About

About

Hello, my name is Ryan. I am a Denver-based software engineer and graduate of Actualize Coding Bootcamp. After a career as a CPA for many years, I made the change to software engineering to follow my desire to learn and grow. I am loving every second of it.

My previous career as a corporate accountant helped me develop many valuable skills and revealed my affinity for solving complex problems. I learned the value of flexibility and accountability and that I always want to take pride in my work. I thrive in environments where there are consistent challenges and opportunities to contribute to the team.

Outside of work my greatest passion is rock climbing. I also enjoy reading sci-fi and playing strategic board games.

Climbing & Hiking

Created a website to document and share some of my favorite climbing areas and hikes. Spending time outdoors is central to my life, so I wanted to share some places that make me happy. I also included links to a few sites to help you plan your next outdoor adventure.
