Hi there! I’m Ryan, a passionate Software Engineer with 3+ years of professional experience in building scalable, robust, and user-friendly applications.
What I Do
Elixir Developer
My journey began in the fintech world, where I honed my skills in Elixir and Phoenix while working at Coverflex, Southern Europe’s 4th fastest growing startup redefining employee benefits.
I love the challenge of building resilient systems and leveraging functional programming to solve complex problems.
Fullstack Engineer
Currently, I’m freelancing as a full-stack developer for a London-based fintech company in the trade finance industry, using Ruby on Rails and React to craft seamless web experiences.
From back-end logic to front-end design, I enjoy bringing ideas to life.
Tech Enthusiast
Outside of my professional work, I run an automated online marketplace for Drum & Bass Music Producers called KAN Samples.
I’m also exploring how Elixir/Phoenix can help transform the music industry through a personal project combining my love for tech and Music Production.
