Summary
Michael Ryan is a full-stack developer based in St. Louis with 11 years of experience building pragmatic, production-grade web and desktop systems using Vue.js, Node.js, PHP, Perl and Electron. He has driven end-to-end solutions that cut onboarding times from months to days and generated seven-figure annual revenue per subscriber location through pragmatic architecture and focused automation. Comfortable refactoring legacy PHP and modernizing stacks with Express and Prisma, he balances maintainability with rapid delivery and has led efforts to introduce test coverage into long-lived codebases. Beyond web apps he pursues low-level work—shaders, CAD models and device-level microservices—turning real-world problems into automated tools he maintains himself. Currently contributing to Boeing-related projects at Talisen while freelancing, he brings a mix of systems thinking, hands-on coding, and a habit of automating tedious workflows. When not shipping features he’s likely iterating on a personal project or walking his corgis, Einstein and Peanut.
