Hi there, I'm Ryan

Full-stack tinkerer building interactive tools, websites and web applications. Specializing in PHP, JavaScript/Node.js, APIs and Python. Over 15 years of experience designing, building, and scaling web applications for enterprise, government, and e-commerce environments.

In my spare time, I manage my own home lab which hosts several web applications as well as Virtual Machines running on ProxMox. My main server runs Docker containers for most things. I submit many of my web projects to GitHub as a code portfolio, showing how I have progressed over the years. Several projects have been forked by GitHub users and the opensource community. I am constantly striving to learn new technologies and trying to hone my skills as a web developer. I have almost 20 years experience in web development beginning in early 2000, building websites and Myspace pages for local bands.

What I'm working on

PirateBox - Inspired by the discontinued PirateBox project, this lightweight implementation uses Nginx, PHP, dnsmasq, and hostapd without requiring a database. It functions as a "captive portal" similar to public Wi-Fi login pages found in hotels or libraries, but instead of requesting credentials, it immediately serves the file-sharing page.
notes - A simple, self-hosted, encrypted notes application built with Python, Flask, SQLite, Docker.
pastebin - Simple Python pastebin solution. Python, Flask, SQLite, Docker.
raspi-streamer - Capture and stream to any RTMP endpoint using a Raspberry Pi, Python, Flask
hotkey_listener - Python Script-based Hotkey Listener with JSON Configuration and Executable Script or Macro Support
SaveAndRaid.org - Designed & built a purpose-made content management system from the ground up, using PHP, SQLite, and Composer to deliver a robust, scalable solution that meets the event's unique requirements.

I frequently contribute scripts and utilities to my GitHub Gist. You might find something useful there: https://gist.github.com/teklynk
