Bellingham Web Developer

Hey, I'm Ryan.

My path wasn't exactly traditional. The web side started around 2003, while I was working in the computer music products industry. Somebody had to write the HTML email promotions, nobody else wanted to learn how, so I did. At home, I taught myself CSS by pulling apart MySpace layouts for fun. That was more tinkering than a career plan.

For the next seven years I worked at a small local company where I did a bit of everything: sales, account management, the website, the network, and on some days loading delivery trucks. That's where I learned what running a small business really looks like, and why a website needs to earn its keep.

In 2012 I decided to take programming seriously. That led to a SQL support job, then front-end work at Logos Bible Software, where I built more than a hundred marketing landing pages. After that came ten years at Cloud Security Alliance, where I grew a one-person webmaster role into a five-person development team, moved everything off WordPress onto Ruby on Rails, and kept our main applications running at 99% uptime.

That history matters for your project. Your site won't be a page-builder template that falls apart in a year. It's built by someone who has spent years keeping production software fast, secure, and easy to change, and who has done all of it right here in Bellingham.

So here we are. Websites built the same way I've always built software: do good work, keep it affordable, and give people more than they expected.
