Ryan Meador is a founder and principal software engineer with over a decade of professional experience and more than 20 years cultivating a passion for programming and robotics. He specializes in embedded systems and firmware for connected devices—particularly Bluetooth audio and home automation—while also leading Android app development and cross-platform solutions. Ryan has led teams through acquisitions and product ports (including work that brought ZigBee stacks to consumer devices) and co-founded consumer-focused startups that required wearing every technical and business hat. Based in Massachusetts, he balances hands-on engineering with product-minded entrepreneurship, currently running SailsGoal, a practical boat-buying cost comparison tool. An early robotics background and published research on autonomous sampling hint at a long-standing ability to move from hardware prototypes to production software.
