Hello! I'm Ryan Williams, a seasoned software developer with over 15 years of rich experience in the dynamic world of technology.
Throughout my journey, I've had the privilege of working with both nimble startups and large international companies, spanning a multitude of sectors. From the fast-paced realms of ecommerce and marketing to the critical sectors of healthcare and insurance, I've brought my expertise to bear, delivering tailored solutions that fit the unique requirements and challenges of each industry.
Here's a snapshot of my technical repertoire:
-
Languages & Frameworks: My skill set encompasses .NET technologies like VB.NET, C#, and ASP.NET as well as the ever-essential trio of JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. Additionally, I've worked with Java, ensuring a broad-based approach to software development.
-
Databases: With deep-rooted experience in SQL Server, and to a lesser extent Oracle, I am adept at crafting optimized queries, safeguarding data integrity, and effectively managing complex datasets. I have worked with ORMs like Entity Framework and NHibernate to easily work with SQL without writing every query and to create database migrations which allow for upgrading and downgrading databases by scripts.
-
Cloud Solutions: I'm proficient in working with cloud platforms like Azure and AWS. From CDNs to CQRS patterns, whether orchestrating scalable solutions or fortifying fault-tolerant systems, I've got the cloud covered.
-
Cryptocurrencies: I have an in-depth understanding of leading cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Monero, and Ethereum. Beyond trading, I grasp their foundational technologies and potential real-world applications. I've worked on integrating them as payment methods and also have worked with the EVM to make smart contracts.
-
DevOps & Testing: I champion the principles of continuous deployment and firmly believe in the importance of automated testing. Using tools like MSTest, xUnit.NET and SpecFlow, I've consistently ensured the delivery of robust and reliable software.
-
AI: My experience with ChatGPT further equips me to harness the potential of cutting-edge conversational AI. I've built templated scripts to automate and maintain website content.
-
Scripting & Automation: With a strong grasp of PowerShell, I bring efficiency to the table by scripting and automating repetitive processes.
The fabric of my career, built with diverse roles and experiences, has given me a unique perspective. This versatility allows me to navigate the challenges of the tech industry, whether they arise in a fledgling startup's hustle or in the complex operations of global enterprises.
