Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRyan O'donnell is an editorial assistant and clinician with eight years of experience blending behavioral science, clinical intervention, and full-stack web development. He has a proven track record reducing maladaptive child behaviors using evidence-based interventions like functional communication training and token economies, and was recognized with a "Rising Star" award for early-career impact. Ryan pairs rigorous, peer-reviewed research consultation with hands-on parent and child training to overcome treatment barriers in community settings. Before moving into editorial and clinical roles, he built and maintained production web applications—authoring front- and back-end features, deploying to Heroku/AWS, and managing migrations across stacks. This combination of clinical depth and practical engineering gives him a rare ability to translate complex research into usable tools and workflows. Based in Los Angeles, he is completing advanced clinical training (Psy.D.) while continuing to ship technical solutions that support practice and outreach.
