Hi, I’m Ryan.
I’m a technically grounded product manager obsessed with understanding complicated systems, connecting ideas across disciplines, and leading teams to turn that understanding into a practical path forward.
Current full-time gig is Product @ GitHub working on agentic developer experiences (I was the founding PM on the GitHub Copilot CLI!). I’ve also spent over a decade building and operating MCParks, a Minecraft theme park community.
