About
me.

Software developer based in the Netherlands. I build calm, well-engineered web apps. Outside of work I train for half marathons and triathlons, and write about both.

Hello

I'm Ryan. I build systems for a living, and I run them on weekends.

By day I work on web platforms — Astro, React, TypeScript — focused on shipping things that load fast, stay calm, and don't break under load. The same instinct shows up in training: build the base, keep the form clean, trust the long arc.

I write occasionally about both — what tools I'm leaning on this season, what I broke and fixed, what the half-marathon block taught me about deadlines.
