Always learning, both in and out of school
From drones and blockchain to AI and RF devices, I dive headfirst into new tech. This site is my digital lab — documenting my journey across hardware, software, and everything between. Whether it's 3D-printing prototypes, crafting trading algorithms, or testing swarm robotics, I'm driven by curiosity and a love for building what doesn't yet exist.
/ about me
Hey, I'm Ryan — a incoming Junior at the University of Michigan who can't decide whether I love solder fumes or compiler errors more. Most days you'll find me swapping chips on a PCB, teaching swarm robots new tricks, or writing Solidity that (hopefully) doesn't set fire to a testnet.
I hang out with the Michigan Blockchain crew, tinker on a hydrogen-electric plane at Helios, and riff on side projects like WiBit (Decentralized Wi-Fi), Validata (token-gated AI data), and a from-scratch STM32 smartwatch that boots reliably. Basically, if it blends hardware, code, and sometimes a bit of crypto chaos, I'm in.
When the laptop lid closes, I'm buzzing my fpv drones through the trees, riding single-track on my MTB, or hunting down the next sneaker drop. There's always a book half-read, a podcast half-played, and a branch called "/experiments". Got a wild idea? Let's build it.
